IK10 Industrial Touch Screen with 6mm Tempered Glass & Glove Touch: Helping Industrial Equipment Meet ATEX Certification Requirements

IK10 industrial touch screen with 6mm Tempered Glass & Glove Touch: Helping Industrial Equipment Meet ATEX Certification Requirements

When Explosion-Proof Equipment Demands More Than Just a Touch Screen

In hazardous industrial environments such as oil & gas facilities, chemical plants, mining sites, and dust-explosion areas, a touchscreen is no longer just an HMI interface—it is part of the equipment's overall safety system.

For equipment manufacturers pursuing ATEX certification, every component must contribute to the reliability of the final product. One critical requirement is the display's ability to withstand severe mechanical impact without compromising operation.

This is where IK10-rated capacitive touch screen become essential.

At DINGTouch, we develop custom industrial touch solutions capable of reaching IK10 impact resistance, providing equipment manufacturers with a reliable touchscreen module that supports their ATEX-certified equipment designs.

What Is an IK10 Touch Screen?

An IK10 touch screen represents the highest impact protection level defined by IEC 62262.

It must withstand an impact energy of 20 Joules, equivalent to:

• A 5 kg object
• Dropped from 400 mm
• Without functional failure or structural damage

To achieve this level of protection, DINGTouch utilizes a 6 mm chemically strengthened tempered glass cover lens, combined with an optimized sensor structure designed specifically for harsh industrial environments.

The result is a touchscreen capable of resisting:

• Heavy impacts
• Vandalism
• Accidental tool strikes
• Continuous industrial operation

Engineered for IK10 Without Sacrificing Touch Performance

A thicker cover glass naturally reduces the sensitivity of a projected capacitive touchscreen.

Many suppliers can build a strong glass panel.

Far fewer can maintain excellent touch performance through 6 mm tempered glass.

This is one of DINGTouch core engineering strengths.

Our customized controller tuning and sensor optimization ensure:

✔ Accurate Capacitive Touch Through 6 mm Glass

Precise finger tracking remains smooth even with an ultra-thick cover lens.

✔ Reliable Glove Touch

Industrial operators rarely work with bare hands.

Our touch solution supports:

• Safety gloves
• Rubber gloves
• Leather gloves
• Winter insulated gloves

allowing operators to work efficiently without removing protective equipment.

✔ Stable Multi-Touch Performance

Even during continuous industrial operation, the touchscreen maintains:

• Fast response
• Stable signal performance
• High touch accuracy
• Excellent EMC resistance

IK10 Is Not ATEX Certification—But It Is an Important Foundation

One question we receive frequently is:

"Can your touch screen pass ATEX certification?"

The answer is:

No—not independently.

ATEX certification applies to the entire machine, not to an individual touchscreen.

ATEX evaluation includes:

• Electrical safety
• Surface temperature control
• Explosion-proof enclosure design
• Ignition source prevention
• Mechanical protection
• Complete system testing

As a professional touch display manufacturer, DINGTouch does not certify complete equipment.

Instead, we provide touchscreen modules designed to satisfy the mechanical protection requirements expected in many ATEX equipment projects.

Our IK10 touch solutions become one important building block within the customer's overall certification process.

Typical Applications

DINGTouch IK10 touch screen are widely used in demanding industrial environments, including:

Oil & Gas Control Equipment

Explosion-proof operator panels used in refineries and petrochemical plants.

Mining Control Systems

Equipment operating under vibration, dust and frequent mechanical impact.

Chemical Processing Equipment

Industrial HMI panels requiring high durability and reliable glove operation.

Railway & Transportation Systems

Outdoor control terminals exposed to vandalism and harsh weather.

Outdoor Industrial Equipment

Machines operating in rain, snow, extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

High-Security Facilities

Equipment installed in prisons, detention centers and other locations where vandal resistance is essential.

Why Equipment Manufacturers Choose DINGTouch

Beyond manufacturing touch panels, DINGTouch works closely with OEM and industrial equipment manufacturers throughout the product development process.

We support customers with:

• Custom IK10 touch screen design
• 6 mm tempered glass solutions
• Glove touch optimization
• Optical bonding
• EMC enhancement
• Waterproof sealing
• Wide temperature operation
• Interface customization
• Long product life cycle support

Every touchscreen is engineered according to the customer's mechanical structure, environmental conditions and certification objectives.

Reliable Touch Performance for the World's Toughest Industrial Environments

In hazardous industrial environments, simply being able to detect touch is not enough.

The touchscreen must continue operating reliably after years of impacts, vibration, dust, temperature changes and continuous use.

That is exactly what DINGTouch focuses on delivering.

By combining IK10 impact resistance, 6 mm tempered glass, high-performance glove touch, and industrial-grade customization, we help customers build safer, more reliable equipment and move more efficiently toward ATEX and other industrial certification requirements.
