touch screen protectors

VJTX · Mar 7, 2011

Has anyone had success using touch screen protectors? I have some panelview 600 plus to protect. thanks.

Here,

try these. Used them on Siemen's TB177B which is also a 6" setup. Actually, these are spec Lockheed Martin, and available in stainless steel as well.

Don't know what that is but what I am suggesting is the plastic stuff you put on ipods, phones, etc. to protect the screen.

AB makes just that, part number 2711P-RGT6 for a PV+ 600. They come in sets of 3.

Slightly OT, but would it be resistive or capacitive type touch screen that would work with a protective layer?

Even if AB sells them, I'd use one from Red Lion, as they almost have to be less then one quarter the cost:

Then again, what exactly are you trying to protect?
If your operators are typical, and using screwdrivers, hammers, knives, keys, etc to operate the touch screen, a few examples by firing should quickly correct the problem.

I may try the ipad protectors, 3 fo $5 on ebay. Thanks for the info on the red lion product.

I put one of these on every machine. I like the spring loaded ones.

The plastic covers do little good IMO. It's not like the panels are in your pocket with keys, and anything that is likely to damage the screen is going to basically ignore a dinky plastic layer. Touch screen damage I've seen in the past has been from sources such as screwdrivers, accidental hitting with heavy objects, and being used with a packing tape knife!

They work well for us since the environment contains a lot of abrasive dust. We just replace the plastic cover every month.

We have had a couple of broken screens over the years. I guess the concensus is that the film won't really prevent that. Thanks for all the input.

Yea for the broken screens they wont help but for us we have operators that cant seem to wipe the glue or paint off there fingers before touching the screen. so i use

In our laboratory, I used acetate to protect the screen of out TP 177B touch panel. Acetate is a plastic sheet used in overhead projector.

Does the acetate just self-adhere?
On the NuShield, which product are you using:
NuShield AG™ antiglare film will work well indoors under bright lights to minimize glare. It is very good for general use and offers excellent scratch and solvent resistance. If your application does not show, use NuShield DayVue™ instead.
NuShield AM™ antimicrobial film is an antiglare film designed for hospitals, public kiosks, restaurants and POS terminals where transmission of disease is a primary concern. It does not have the same scratch resistance or optical qualities as antiglare film and should be used only where suppression of microbes and fungi are paramount.
NuShield DayVue™ antireflective film is the best choice for displays that are being used outdoors. It has good scratch resistance combined with greatly improved daylight readable optics over our antiglare film.

I just buy an ordinary acetate. Its not self adhere. I just cut it to the size of the TP 177B and have have it clip and tighten the holder at the black.
