3M will show its innovative touch screen and touch monitor products for the self-service kiosk and ATM markets on Stand 2C.15 at Kiosk Europe Expo 2007 (8th to 10th May 2007, Essen, Germany).

The event will see the European launch of highly rugged MicroTouch ToughTouch II Capacitive Touch Screens from 3M.

Other stand highlights include a 32in MicroTouch ClearTek II capacitive touch screen, EX II capacitive electronics, an M170 17in LCD touch monitor and a CT150 15in LCD touch monitor.

The latest generation MicroTouch ToughTouch capacitive touch screens will be showcased on the stand, designed to meet the stringent requirements of unsupervised, high-threat environments, such as ATMs.

ToughTouch II touch screens offer superior wear resistance and added impact resistance, exceeding UL 60950 impact test standards.

They also feature enhanced light transmission at 86.5% average and world-class storage temperature ranging from -50 to + 80C.

New ToughTouch II with optional privacy film for on-screen data protection in ATM and ticketing applications will also be displayed.

Alongside ToughTouch II, 3M will demonstrate a 32in MicroTouch ClearTek II Capacitive Touch Screen designed to meet the physical and functional requirements of new large format opportunities in hospitality applications, for interactive signage and point-of-information, and in gaming applications, for emerging slot machine designs.

Key features of ClearTek II include at least five times more wear-resistance and durability over competitive solutions, accurate touch performance and the highest levels of light transmission in the market place today.

MicroTouch EX II Controllers for ToughTouch II and ClearTek II will also be shown on the stand.

EX II controllers are based on the innovative EX II ASIC, designed to provide higher resolution touch co-ordinates, on-chip RAM, and a wider operating temperature range.

They support serial and USB, offer expanded regulatory approvals, improved power modes, and enhanced ESD and EMI protection.

In addition, 3M will demonstrate its MicroTouch M170 (17in) and CT150 (15in) LCD touch monitors that incorporate durable ClearTek II capacitive touch technology for robust, accurate and reliable touch display solutions.

The M170 LCD touch monitor features maximum touch stability as well as a peripheral attachment system, locking mechanism, adjustable display angle, and various mounting options.

The CT150 LCD touch monitor for self-service kiosks offers a 500:1 contrast ratio, three bezel options, an array of designer-flexible mounting methods, a remote control on-screen-display adjustment module and internal power cable, eliminating the need for external power adapters.
