SemsoTec Group • Optical Solutions

Component selection

Every HMI consists of individual components such as display, touch, electronics, cover lens and housing that work together to meet individual application requirements.

Only by considering all components can performance requirements such as sunlight readability, touch and haptics, EMC, black panel effect and cleanability be achieved.

To ensure that all environmental and performance requirements can be met, components are selected from our global supplier network.

Without light, a display is just a sheet of glass.
Without electronics, no light.
Without software, no image.

We master the entire spectrum from mechanics to electronics, light and software to final integration. We turn innovative light and display applications into marketable products. For customers from a wide range of industries, from mobility to medical technology.

You get the complete package or individual services from us - whatever you need.

Resistive touch

High transparency

Haptics

Used to create a small haptic tap against the finger that triggers a secondary menu function

Force Touch / 3D-Touch

Supports multiple levels of pressure, so a soft press can do one thing and a hard press can do another

Proximity sensing

Detects the presence of a finger or palm without physical contact

Cover lens

The design glass dimensions are based on the installation design concept. The material, treatment and thickness of the glass or PMMA are determined by requirements such as safety, impact resistance, scratch resistance and chemical resistance. Special requirements such as curved glass are possible. Special requirements such as curved glass are possible. The front glass can be custom coated and printed, for functional reasons or to enhance the visual design.

To optimize the design, the edge of the glass can be colored differently or provided with text or logos. SemsoTec offers a wide variety of finishes and printing options to meet individual customer requirements.

Glass types

Standard float glass - untreated soda-lime glass

Thermally tempered glass: usually > 0.5 mm

Chemically strengthened: usually > 2.85 mm

Gloss 100% and reduced

Aluminum silicate glasss

PMMA printing and coating

Elegant printing on the glass surface

Organic and ceramic printing

Back printing

Anti-Glare AG, Anti-Reflection AR

Anti-Fingerprint AF

Panther Black effect

A homogeneous, elegant, black effect on the glass surface as well as on the outer frame (must be taken into account in the overall stack design)

Housing

Mechanical integration of components according to customer's design schemes, taking into account mounting requirements, strength, stiffness, weight, environmental requirements (temperature IP rating, vibration, shock, EMC) and ease of maintenance

Material selection takes into account surface finish, chemical resistance and cleaning requirements
