Aplex ViTAM-9B stainless steel panel PCs

Aplex’s ViTAM-9B series stainless steel panel PCs are designed for a wide variety of industrial applications where sanitation is of serious concern, including food and beverage manufacturing. The series offers a highly protective panel solution, beyond the basic standard, by achieving IP66- and IP69K-certified protection with M12 connectors.

The 304 (or optional 316) stainless steel chassis of the series makes it suitable for the food and beverage manufacturing industry due to its slim design, high corrosion resistance and germ resistance, helping to prevent bacterial contamination. Stainless steel should also make the chassis easy to clean (capable of withstanding high-pressure cleaning), increase the life cycle of the chassis due to its rugged nature and help to lower the cost of maintenance.

To assist with cleaning of the display, the series includes a touch on/off button that allows the touch screen to be temporarily disabled during the cleaning process. This allows the display to be hygienically wiped down without having to shut down any process control applications.

The fanless design of the series makes it easy to maintain the equipment and further helps to prevent the accumulation of dust. The optional PCT multi-touch screen with 7H anti-scratch surface helps to improve usability, while also providing the screen with tough protection. Optional high-brightness features help to make the screen visible in increased sunlight areas.

The series offers a range of versatile mounting solutions — including floor stands, swing arms, Yoke mounts and VESA mounts — making it suitable for most applications. Other features include DC 9–36 V wide range power input; 15–24″ screen sizes available; 8th Gen Intel Core i3/i5 processor; up to 64 GB DDR4 RAM; and a wide temperature range of 0 to 50°C or -20 to +60°C (optional upgrade).
