B&R Automation: Fanless from -20°C to +60°C

February 8, 2021

New Panel PC from 7.0″ to 15.6″ with rugged design and shallow installation depth

With the Panel PC 1200, B&R introduces a compact and cost-effective all-in-one PC. Equipped with the latest Intel Atom processors and up to 256 GB of mass storage, the Panel PC 1200 is ideal for running HMI applications under Windows or Linux operating systems.

With 2x Gigabit Ethernet and 2x USB 3.0, the Panel PC 1200 is ready for integration into any machine network. Compact CFast cards are used for data storage.

Precise and reliable, even wearing thick leather gloves

The Panel PC 1200 is available in four sizes from 7.0″ to 15.6″. The projected capacitive multi-touch screens are available in various resolutions up to HD. Equipped with either clear or anti-glare glass, the state-of-the-art multi-touch panel PC perfectly complements a high-end machine design. Gestures such as zoom or swipe provide an intuitive user experience. The projected capacitive touch screen responds precisely and reliably, even when operated while wearing thick leather gloves.

Compact and low maintenance

The Panel PC 1200 is characterized by its compact dimensions, robust construction and shallow installation depth. It fits easily into any control cabinet. With passive cooling and fanless operation, the Panel PC 1200 can be operated in the extended temperature range of -20°C to +60°C. That makes it ideal for a wide range of applications – even under harsh industrial conditions.

SICK: AS30 Array Sensors

SICK has come out with the AS30 sensor arrays. Array sensors operate on the proximity scanning principle. They detect even the smallest edges based on differences in grayscale values within the field-of-view. Positioning of, for example, a paper web based on the web edge or a contrast line is only one of many possible applications. Widths, diameters, and gaps can also be detected. In reflector mode, the array sensors can even detect transparent materials.
