Elo surface wave

An outstanding player's experience yields increased coin-drop. In independent comparative tests, players simply preferred Elo IntelliTouch surface-wave touch technology over our main competition.

  • Extremely fast, sensitive touch response
  • The most accurate touch, even for small targets like internet hyperlinks
  • Drift-free performance, not affected by surrounding metal or poor earths
  • Never an incorrect or averaged double-touch from two players
  • Ultimate picture quality and light transmission, with no metallic layers or coatings
  • Minimized reflections from overhead lights
  • Z-axis for pressure adds a new dimension to games

Only Elo has recently patented true flat surface-wave technology with the transducers on the back of the glass.

Elo capacitive

Elo capacitive touchscreens provide a solution for customers seeking an alternative to the currently available capacitive options. The touchscreens feature the Elo advanced Z-border, a patented linearization electrode pattern, as well as a ground layer to insure excellent accuracy and operation in electrically noisy environments. The precise new Elo controller is drop-in compatible with both industry standard protocols.

With the addition of capacitive touchscreens, Elo is firmly positioned as the primary single-source solution for all mainstream touch technologies.

How touch systems work

IntelliTouchIntelliTouch is a surface-wave touch technology. IntelliTouch is applied on a piece of clear glass that is then integrated into an LCD. The controller develops a digital map of the glass using ultrasonic waves in the surface. A bare or gloved finger absorbs a portion of the waves travelling across the surface and the resulting change in the received signal is analysed by the controller and digitised into X and Y coordinates. A third coordinate – the unique Elo Z-axis – senses pressure by measuring how much signal is absorbed.

CapacitiveElo surface capacitive technology consists of a uniform conductive coating on a glass panel. During operation, electrodes around the panel's edge evenly distribute a low voltage across the conductive layer, creating a uniform electric field. A touch draws current from each corner. The controller measures the ratio of the current flow from the corners and calculates the touch location.

Elo touchmonitors and touchcomputers are available with peripheral options including magnetic stripe readers, various rear-facing customer displays, and biometric fingerprint readers. Sizes shown range from 12" to 19". Sizes above 32" are also available.

All Elo desktop touchmonitors and touchcomputers are designed for touch from the ground up, with features like these:

  • Spill-resistant sealing
  • Stable tilt bases that are removable or reversible for wall mounting, with mounting holes for tabletop security
  • Full connectivity incorporated in the monitor, including a USB hub
  • Cables hidden from user view
  • Controls on the side rather than the front, plus a lockout function for public use
