WASP adds acrylic panels to its touch screens

Setting a new trend in the manufacture of resistive touch screens, WASP is now offering its products with a choice of tough back panel materials. Normally, resistive touch screens are only mounted to a glass back panel, which, due to its fragility, is not always the ideal material in certain applications. However, following new developments, WASP can now offer the screens mounted on to acrylic and polyester.

The main advantage of using acrylic is that whilst the strength is maintained, breakage is no longer a problem. Not only is the acrylic a lot more resistant to breaking - either accidentally during the manufacturing or installation process or deliberately when in situ - it is easier to handle and WASP’s own internal laser cutting machines are able to machine the front panels to high tolerance specifications to suit customer requirements.

The use of these new back panel materials gives the design engineer easy access to quick samples but also gives total flexibility on production quantities where WASP has the control of machined back panels.
