3M MicroTouch™ ClearTek™ II Touch System
The Global Standard in Surface Capacitive Touch Technology.
3M MicroTouch™ ClearTek™ II touch sensors offer a high-endurance solution that is unaffected by on-screen contaminants such as chemicals,
grease, dirt, and water. This makes it ideal for touch applications where exceptional performance, vibrant optics and environmental robustness is required, 24-hours a day, 7 days a week.
- Fast, accurate and reliable touch response
- 3M-proprietary hard coat provides premium surface wear resistance for heavy-use applications
- Operation is unaffected by on-screen contaminants
- Resilient top coat creates a scratch-resistant, easy-glide surface
- Excellent light transmission of 91.5% provides vibrant optical characteristics with optimal anti-glare properties
- Solder less, low-profile design and robust tail simplifies integrations and improves sealability.
Performance
- Input Method: Finger input
- Accuracy*: Reported touch coordinates are within 1.0% of true position (based on the diagonal dimension of the screen) within the precision area when linearized and used with MicroTouch™ EX II Series Touch Controllers
- Resolution: Touch screen resolution defaults to settings in the electronics and software, generally 1024 x 1024, but capable of 16K x16K when used with EX II electronics
- Linearization: Factory linearization values are stored in the attached controller, represented in a 2D bar code, or in the touch screen NOVRAM when present
Optics
- Light Transmission**: 91.5% light transmission (±1.5%)
- Surface Finish: ClearTek II hard coat with optimal anti-glare properties. Scratch resistant top coat provides smooth, easy glide touch surface
Mechanical
- Minimum Contact Requirement: 5.4 ms for finger input with EX II series controller
- Glass Thickness: 3.18mm (±0.25mm) typical. (Glass only, not including flexible tail connection; reference touch screen drawing for details.)
- Display Size Supported: 6.4" to 32" diagonal (4.3, 16:9, 16:10)
- Surface Scratch Hardness: A Mohs pick with a hardness rating of 7 or higher is required to induce a scratch which will cause a functional failure. Functionality unaffected by severe abrasion per MIL-C-675-C, exceeding number of specified cycles. Functionality unaffected by 10,500 grams of force per Balance Beam Scrape Adhesion Mar Tester with loop stylus
- NEMA Rating: NEMA sealable
- Gasketing: Complete water-resistant seal obtainable with polyethylene gasket. Please consult ClearTek™ II integration guide for further details
- Mounting: Please consult MicroTouch™ ClearTek™ II Integration Guide for specific mounting instructions.
- Cleaning: Water, isopropyl alcohol, or similar non-abrasive cleaners
Reliability
- Surface Obstructions: Touch screens operation withstands surface contaminants such as, dirt, dust and grease
- Chemical Resistance: ClearTek™ II is highly resistant to a variety of solvents, acids, and household chemicals in accordance with ASTM-D-1308-02e1 and ASTM-F-1598-95 (reapproved 2002)
- Liquid Resistance: Liquids on screen do not impede touch screen performance
- Operating Temperature: -40° C to 70° C for the touch screen
- Storage Temperature: Always store the touch screen in its original shipping container between -50°C and 85°C (up to 90% RH from 0° C to + 35° C). Never store touch screens in an environment where condensation may form
- Humidity: Up to 90% RH from 0° C to +35° C, non-condensing
