Designline industrial PCs from Phoenix Contact are available with an Intel Core i7 processor in 18.5- and 21.5-inch screen sizes, as well as the original 15-inch version. These models are IP65 rated and have a fanless design, making it possible to mount directly on the factory floor, eliminating the need for additional control cabinets and housing. The VESA-mounting hardware mounts securely on the machine, improving ergonomics for the operator. The device can be installed at eye level on the front of the machine and used as a hardware platform for a manufacturing execution system. The units have multi-touch capability for intuitive gesture control. They take up minimal space, and the integrated function button on the front ensures easy operation such as brightness adjustment, an easy-to-access software keyboard and a right-click function. 800/322-3225; www.phoenixcontact.com.
