Elo Unveils New 1525L All-in-One Touchcomputer

Elo announces the new 1525L 15" LCD, silent, fanless all-in-one touchcomputer. The space-saving 1525L touchcomputer combines a touchmonitor with a computer all in the space of a touchmonitor. The 1525L touchcomputer includes a choice of Elo's industry-leading IntelliTouch surface-wave or AccuTouch five-wire resistive touch technologies. Integrated options include a three-track Magnetic Stripe Reader (MSR) and a rear-facing customer display. The Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP versions of the 1525L touchcomputer include a hard drive; the Windows CE .NET version has solid-state components without moving parts. Applications for the new all-in-one touchcomputer include loyalty systems, kiosk information systems, casino management, cash systems, bingo, and Internet access points such as those for Web surfing and hotel reservations.
 

Super Flat Profile Touchscreens

On show at ATEI is a new range of Super Flat Profile (SFP) touchscreens that extend the company's proven IntelliTouch pure glass surface wave touch technology. Elo was the first in the world to introduce pure glass touchscreen technology for superior optics, reliability, stability and light transmission, and now Elo takes another step forward with patented grating technology. The new IntelliTouch SFP touchscreens have the sensing transducers mounted on the back of the glass, making integration much easier. Elo's IntelliTouch SFP touchscreens use the company's patented grating technology to achieve distinct advantages; a true flat front surface that smoothes out the bumps of integration, narrower borders around the active touch-sensitive area and a new flat cabling system. All help enable the touchscreen to fit into tighter form factors than before.
