Compact and Waterproof: The New noax Steel S15 for harsh environments

Munich, February 2009 – The "Steel S15", the newest member of the noax Steel series, was especially designed for use under the toughest hygienic standards. Its rugged, compact design and smoothed stainless steel enclosure protect it against extreme mechanical stress and chemical exposure, such as vibration, shock, and acids or alkaline substances. Certified as protection class IP67, without any slots and seams, consisting of constant food-safe materials, the S15 withstands even temporary submersion. Operators will profit from the high-contrast, 15-inch touch displays, four LED special function keys for ON/OFF, brightness, contrast and calling up the terminal operating states, as well as 20 freely programmable function keys. A network card and numerous on-board interfaces for weighing and identification systems make the S15 suitable for a wide range of applications. It is also available in ultra-compact 12-inch and large-format 19-inch variants.

Update for the Steel series: noax Technologies AG has further improved the Steel S15 by adding a 15-inch, highly durable touchscreen to the new generation. One special feature is the smoothed V2A (1.4301) stainless steel enclosure with a perfectly smooth surface. Now available in versions that are certified up to protection class IP67, it remains waterproof even when temporarily submerged, such as during cleaning. With its special gaskets and food-safe front, the Steel S15 meets the toughest hygienic requirements and can even be used in the most severe industrial conditions.
Also new are the 20 special function keys, which are embedded in the display frame of the Steel S15. They are freely programmable and make for quick and accurate access to frequently used functions. Another plus point is the four LED function keys for ON/OFF, brightness and contrast settings, and for calling up the terminal operating states. Together with the luminous touch display, the noax solution provides an optimum balance between minimal space requirement and user-friendly, clearly structured operation, as is required for applications in clinical areas, chemical and pharmaceutical laboratories, food production, and in industrial fields.
