Thermal management

3-stage active thermal management

In order to ensure a decades-long service life in an industrial environment, the tightness of the devices is of essential importance. After all, water, dust and contamination inside the device are among the most common causes of failure of industrial computers. In addition to the tightness of the device, controlling the heat development inside the device is also crucial for a long service life, as high heat can not only lead to a loss of performance, but also to irreparable hardware damage.

Avoiding heat

By using only industrial-grade components in the motherboard development, heat generation is already avoided in the first development phase. Compared to consumer components, industrial components consume significantly less energy and generate correspondingly less heat. At the same time, the components are more resistant to extreme temperatures, which further increases the likelihood of a long service life.

The arrangement of the components within the enclosure – so to speak, the spatial planning of IPC components on the motherboard – plays an important role in avoiding heat in the device and is part of the noax industrial computer development process.

Distributing heat

Even when only industrial-grade components are used, controlled heat dissipation is of utmost importance. The second stage of noax’s thermal management ensures targeted distribution of heat through thermal flow simulations during the development phase.

With numerous load and climate tests, hotspots are identified and prevented through appropriate design during the development phase. This guarantees a service life of decades with maximum computing power.

Dissipating heat

By using materials that are as conductive as possible in combination with heat flows that are tailored to them, the heat is efficiently dissipated to the outside via the back of the HMI. These materials, often selected due to their high thermal conductivity, enable the heat generated to be dissipated quickly and effectively. This not only regulates the temperature of the touch PC, but also extends the lifespan of the electronic components. In addition, this cooling system helps to improve performance by preventing overheating.

By dissipating heat to the outside in a targeted manner, the energy efficiency of the entire system is also increased.

Touchscreen technology

Robust and operable with gloves

The touch screen is the central control element of panel PCs and is crucial for the efficiency and satisfaction of users. noax touch screens offer outstanding operability, both with fingers and with any type of glove. This is particularly important in demanding environments where operators often wear protective equipment. By using extra-thick materials and hardening, noax touch screens are extremely robust and reliable, regardless of the environmental conditions.

PCAP Multitouch

Perfect operation even with gloves

The noax PCAP Multitouch enables operation that is as intuitive and smooth as a smartphone. Users can interact with the HMI simultaneously with two or more fingers to quickly and easily use functions such as zooming or rotating. A special feature of the noax PCAP Multitouch is that this precise operation is possible even at the edges of the screen. Additionally, the PCAP touchscreen has a high resistance to cleaning agents and chemicals. These properties make the PCAP Multitouch the ideal solution for demanding work environments where both precision and durability are required.

Resistive touch

Ideal for the food industry

HACCP- and IFS-compliant? With noax’s resistive touchscreens, this becomes a breeze since there is no exposed glass. Additionally, this technology is characterized by its reliability in moisture, water, and dirt. noax’s resistive touchscreens allow for reliable and precise operation with fingers, touch pens, and even thick gloves. Users can thus operate the terminal safely and quickly without having to remove their protective clothing.

IPC architecture

Simply robust and reliable

Well-thought-out overall concept

The foundation for the longevity of noax industrial computers is laid during the development of the proprietary mainboard. A well-thought-out housing geometry, a coordinated internal construction, and optimized air flow reliably prevent overheating and ensure that the computers function reliably for decades, even in 24/7 continuous operation.

Water- and dustproof from all sides

noax touch panel computers are fully water and dust-proof according to IP66. Many products even offer protection up to IP69K, which means that they can easily withstand daily cleaning with 80°C hot water and high pressure. Regular testing and certification by external approval bodies guarantee the highest quality standards.

Hygienic Design

In many production environments, such as the chemical and food industries, the avoidance of contamination is a priority. The “hygienic design” of noax housings includes cleaning-friendly designs, IP protection, the avoidance of undercuts and the use of hygienic seals. Glass breakage is avoided and material durability is ensured by HAACP and IFS-compliant designs. The housings are designed to avoid dead spaces and provide smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces to minimize the risk of bacteria formation. In practice, this enables easy cleaning and durable material, which ensures uncompromising hygiene in noax industrial computers and minimizes the risk of contamination.

Food-safe materials

In hygiene-sensitive areas, food-safe industrial seals with AUTO-FIT properties are used, which guarantee 100% tightness. These seals can withstand extreme environmental influences and can withstand daily cleaning with hot water and high pressure (IP69K). The V2A stainless steel housing of the noax computers meets the strict HACCP requirements thanks to its antimicrobial effect and insensitivity to cleaning agents commonly used in the industry.
