What protective properties do industrial operation displays need to have, such as dustproof, waterproof, impact resistant, etc.?
The industrial operation display is a display device used in the industrial field. It is used to display information such as production processes, status monitoring and control, and has important monitoring functions. However, operating a display in an industrial production environment presents more challenges than a normal display. Therefore, it needs to have higher protection performance, including dustproof, waterproof, impact resistance and so on. Here, we will introduce in detail what protection performance industrial operation monitors need to have through the following aspects.
1. Dustproof performance
In the industrial production environment, there is often more dust and dust, which will enter the machine and affect the working efficiency and life of the machine. The operating display is one of the important tools for plant maintenance and control, and dust protection is crucial. Therefore, industrial operation displays need to be dust-proof so that they can work normally in harsh environments. Some industrial operation displays will have special treatment on their surface to increase its sealing performance to prevent dust from entering.
2. Waterproof performance
In the industrial production environment, workers often need to work in a humid environment, and sometimes, the liquid will touch the industrial operation display, which will cause damage to the display. In order for the display to work properly in a humid environment, the industrial operation display must have the ability to be waterproof. The waterproof ability of the operating display is usually realized by sealing technology, and the chance of water ingress is reduced by adding a sealing material to the surface of the display. In addition, there is usually a special sealing design at the opening behind the operating display to prevent water or other liquids from entering.
3. Impact resistance
In industrial production environments, equipment and facilities may be subject to mechanical shocks, such as loosening or dropping. Also, in some industrial environments, vibrations from hammering large machines may affect the performance of the display. Therefore, industrial operating displays need to be impact resistant to protect the internal parts of the display in the event of accidental impact. In already designed industrial operation displays, the liquid crystal panel generally uses tempered glass as a protective shell, or uses hard plastic to protect the internal hardware when subjected to slight shock absorption.
4. Durability
Due to the harsh working environment, industrial operating displays need to have high durability to prevent frequent display replacement. This means that operational displays must be capable enough to operate for extended periods of time in harsh environments and be able to withstand the stress and challenges of a production environment. To achieve this, operating displays are usually made of high-quality materials, including metal and plastic, guaranteed for long-term use.
In short, industrial operation displays need to have various protective properties such as dustproof, waterproof, impact resistance, and durability to ensure that they can work normally in harsh industrial environments. These stringent requirements make industrial operation displays more expensive, however, their stable and reliable performance makes them more effective in industrial production processes, so they are still widely used.
