Key Features

Reliability—Most reliable resistive touch screens available. The AccuTouch solution provides the longest life of any resistive touchscreen technology. AccuTouch also offers the longest warranty in the industry. Five-years! AccuTouch warranties are based on real-world application successes for over 20 years.
Accuracy Over Time—Most accurate resistive touchscreen available. AccuTouch’s patented five-wire resistive technology provides unmatched accuracy because of its inherently stable design. There’s no need for recalibration when environmental conditions change. Also, AccuTouch touch screens are not reliant on lookup tables and curve fitting to correct for non-linearity as other resistive touch screens. AccuTouch touch screens are designed for accuracy from the raw materials to the finished product.
Durability—Enhanced scratch-resistant hardcoat yields unparalleled protection against damage, even in the harshest industrial environments. And AccuTouch touch screens have been operationally tested to over 35 million touches in one location, making them ideal for heavy-usage environments.
Touch Input Flexibility—Unlimited number of touch input methods. AccuTouch can be activated with fingers, fingernails, stylus, gloved hand and credit cards, while maintaining superb tactile feel. Especially for drag-and-drop requirements. Also, AccuTouch controllers provide advanced firmware that optimizes the physics of a touch for a perfect touch every time.
AccuTac™ Coversheet Adhesive System—The tightest coversheet fit available. AccuTac is the proprietary coversheet adhesive system used on all AccuTouch touch screens. AccuTac provides multi-directional hold down of the coversheet to the glass and allows the coversheet to expand and contract with changes in the environment while keeping the coversheet flat and tight.
Contamination Resistance—Most contamination resistant touch screens available. AccuTouch touch screens are completely sealed against contamination and moisture. Unlike other resistive touch screens which have air vents, AccuTouch seals the coversheet to the glass substrate with an industrial-grade caulk. This prevents fluid ingress through the air vent due to capillary action.
Optimized Optics—Broadest range of optical solutions available. AccuTouch offers a full line of optical characteristics. Coversheets are available in both high light transmission and high contrast enhancing versions. Also, gloss diffusing antiglare and crystal clear, polished coversheets are available.
Touch Point Density—Highest touchpoint density and resolution. AccuTouch provides 4096x4096 resolution. This translates to more than 100,000 touchpoints per square inch on the average size touchscreen.
Product Availability—Largest selection of standard touch screens available from stock. Touchscreens are available for all popular LCD and CRT configurations. Custom touchscreen designs available for OEM quantities.
Controller Solutions—Most complete controller solutions available. AccuTouch offers a full line of controllers including serial, bus, and USB. Controllers offer the fastest touch response in the industry while also providing excellent reliability and proven performance.
Single Chip Controller Solutions—Most cost effective resistive touchscreen chip. The AccuTouch COACh (Controller On A Chip) is specifically designed for resistive touchscreen applications. The COACh is a single chip solution that is compatible with all Elo touchscreen drivers.
Broad Range of Software Drivers—Whether you are using Windows (NT, 98, 95, 3.x), DOS, specialized environments (Windows CE, QNX, Linux), real-time or embedded systems, Elo drivers are industry standards. For custom systems, Elo supplies sample driver source code.
Application Expertise—Elo invented and perfected five-wire resistive touchscreens. For over 20 years, AccuTouch has led the industry in resistive touchscreen technology with the largest application and experience base of any manufacturer.
