Strengths
The control station used in the VISION CHECK 2000 series systems is built to work in an industrial environment. It is equipped with precautions and construction techniques for a long-term operating life even in harsh environments or production situations with difficult environmental characteristics.
15 inch monitor with industrial touch screen
Industrial monitor with touch screen control. High brightness and contrast. Suitable for industrial environments and for applications where high reliability and durability are required. The monitor is mounted on a stand independent of the PC and can be easily and quickly replaced in case of damage.
Fanless and Diskless architecture
The use of the most modern heat dissipation techniques allows the elimination of the cooling fans (both CPU board and internal PC). All data storage and operating system media are based on FLASH SSD. The system is therefore also protected against vibrations or mechanical stress.
LED flasher
Anomaly detector with high brightness LED flashing light. As an option it is also possible to equip the control station with an acoustic siren. The flashing light function can be customized and can manage both warning and alarm conditions.
Tilting support
Tilting mechanical support for adjusting the inclination of the monitor and the controls (possibility of being installed on a table or on a pulpit or on a shelf). Option for connection to swinging arms and overhead control pulpits.
Standard display and control interfaces
The system is based on an industrial embedded PC. So in case of temporary malfunction of the monitor or the touch you can temporarily use a keyboard, a mouse or an office monitor. This solution allows you to continue production even in the event of a temporary malfunction.
