3M MicroTouch™ ToughTouch II Capacitive Touch Screen   

High Performance in Extreme Environments
Designed to withstand heavy abuse in unattended, vandal-prone applications, MicroTouch™ ToughTouch II capacitive touch systems are an ideal solution for extreme environments that require a toughened, shatter-resistant, liquid-resistant touch solution.

Whether you’re designing ticketing kiosks or gaming machines, providing ATM solutions or require a toughened product for challenging industrial environments, ToughTouch II touch systems can meet or exceed your design requirements

ToughTough II is constructed by optically laminating 4 mm glass to the back of a MicroTouch™ ClearTek™ II touch screen – the “de facto” standard for capacitive touch screens. By combining ClearTek II’s industry-leading features for reliability and robustness with laminated impact-resistant characteristics, ToughTouch II offers excellent touch performance when and where ever you need it.

The Clear Difference
MicroTouch™ ToughTouch II – along with its best-in-class MicroTouch™ EX II touch electronics – sets the standard in “strengthened capacitive” touch system offerings. Along with its worldwide support and service organization, 3M provides expert technical support wherever any of our products are designed-in, integrated, or delivered. It is this complete solution approach that ensures remarkable compatibility and exceptional service, backed by 3M.
