Touch Control

Touch Control

Optimised touch performance for all applications

We optimise touch interfaces to ensure reliable performance in any environment. Whether you need Projective Capacitive, single, or multi-touch, we customise the sensor, controller, and firmware to meet your specific needs. 

With project experience across a range of diverse industries, we can handle challenges such as water rejection, gloved hand input, and varying coverlens thickness, ensuring seamless and responsive touch functionality every time.

Touch IC selection

We can guide you to the best touch controller IC to suit your application, including the latest industrial-grade options with glove input and anti-noise capabilities, including:

  • Input type
  • Environment
  • Display size
  • Coverlens material and thickness
  • Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
Medical Touchscreen operation using gloves

Gloved Hand Operation

The firmware of the selected controller IC can be adjusted to ensure the touchscreen delivers responsive touch even when wearing different types of glove including latex, nitrile or vinyl.

Falst touch rejection from water spray on touchscreen

Water Droplets

The touch firmware is optimised to reject false touches caused by water droplets, including rain, seawater, and fluid spillages. The touchscreen can also be IP65-rated to prevent moisture ingress.

EMC considerations for touchscreens showing an industrial setting

EMC Compatability

EMC is critical for touchscreens to ensure reliable performance in noisy environments. We help you meet regulatory standards by optimising hardware and firmware for electromagnetic compatibility.

Types of Touchscreen Technology

Projected Capacitive

PCAP touchscreens can can detect multiple points of contacts and can also be operated while wearing certain types of gloves. They are more responsive than a resistive screen when it comes to gestures such as swiping and pinching.

Resistive Touch

A resistive touchscreen works on a number of layers and when the layers are pressed together, a touchpoint is registered. USusally just a single-point input. Ideal for kiosk applications.

Optical Positioning

Using optical sensors at the top of the screen and IR LEDs on the other sides, light emitted from the LED is reflected back to the imaging sensors and when the light beam is broken by a touch a touch is registered.
