Installation of touchscreen and display in housing

Display integration

Possibilities of display and touchscreen integration

Touchscreens and large displays are also gaining ground in industrial machine and plant control. The big problem with touchscreens and displays is that they are not standardized parts. Each display looks different, has different mounting options and different dimensions. This makes installation in a front or a housing not easy. We rely here on different installation options, which differ greatly in appearance, technical features and price.

Variant with spacer dots

Closed front with spacer dots

The touchscreen is placed directly on a transparent front film or glass panel, which has sprayed-on spacer dots. The display is fixed over the molded-on domes using the retaining plate and a special potting compound. The potting compound compensates for temperature fluctuations and vibrations. The spacer dots on the front panel prevent Newton rings. The closed front provides IP65. For a straight closed case front, this is the most cost effective option. Here you can find suitable housings with a recessed foil surface, which provide a clean installation of the disk. Our favorite enclosures are BoPad and Bocube, which we deliver fully machined and with your display mounted.

Variant frame lamination

Frame lamination

Here, the touch display is glued to a front foil or glass pane at the edge from behind. The front foil or a pane of glass printed from behind covers the glued area and ensures a high-quality viewing area. As with variant 2, the touch display is attached via the retaining plate and the potting compound. Here you will find suitable housings with a recessed foil surface, which ensure a clean installation of the pane. Our favorite housings are BoPad and Bocube, which we deliver completely machined and with your mounted touch display.

Optical bonding

Optical bonding or full-surface lamination

This is the high-end solution as we know it from smartphones. The touch display is bonded directly to the glass panel. This special process is called bonding. Glass and touch are bonded without any adhesive residue that would interfere with the field of view. For safety reasons, we recommend to secure the touch display with the retaining plate and potting compound. Here you can find suitable housings with a recessed foil surface, which ensure a clean installation of the screen. Our favorite housings are BoPad and Bocube, which we deliver completely machined and with your mounted touch screen.

Printing of the glass plate

Having enclosures printed is a proven method of integrating company logos or explaining functionalities by means of signs. In addition to the screen printing process, we also offer pad printing. Which method is best suited to your enclosure depends on the individual color choice, the application environment and the number of products to be designed. We will be happy to advise you on this!

Optical Bonding

We connect the glass front with the touch or display screen using the optical bonding process. The liquid bonding of the components achieves a particularly high optical quality and mechanical stability

Bonding of the touchscreen

The complete touchscreen unit is inserted into the housing and fixed there by an adhesive layer.

Retaining plate assembly

A retaining plate is required to stabilize the touch / display unit. In order to mount this securely, a special potting technology has been developed.

Complete assebly of the device

If required, we can assemble the complete product for you. We enable ESD-compatible assembly of a wide variety of elements, such as printed circuit boards, screw connections or complex electronics. This is followed by testing of the complete application and packaging.
