Rugged IP66 stainless steel monitors for demanding industrial and public environments

Crystal Display Systems (CDS) has expanded its industrial monitor portfolio with a range of IP66-rated stainless steel monitors engineered for reliability in harsh, high-demand environments.

These fully enclosed displays are waterproof, dustproof, and constructed for heavy-duty use, making them ideal for the food processing, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, transportation, marine, EV charging, and outdoor kiosk sectors, where durability and hygiene are crucial.

“In environments where system uptime, cleanliness, and reliability are non-negotiable, these monitors excel,” said Tony Large, technical director at CDS. “They are designed to endure high-pressure washdowns, harsh cleaning chemicals, extreme temperatures, and outdoor weather conditions while maintaining crystal-clear readability.”

Key Features:

• Full IP66 rating: Protects against water jets, dust, and environmental contaminants.
• Rugged stainless-steel housing: Corrosion-resistant, hygienic, and easy to clean for food and pharma applications.
• High-performance display: Options up to 2500cd/m² for sunlight readability, with wide operating temperature ranges.
• Touchscreen and non-touch options: Capacitive and resistive touch for gloved use, alongside VESA-compatible mounting.
• Anti-vibration and EMC protection: Stable operation in transport hubs, marine environments, and industrial machinery applications.

Recognising that one size does not fit all, the company offers customisation options including:

• Screen sizes from 7” to 49”.
• Optical bonding and anti-reflective coatings.
• Specialist touch technologies (gloved use, stylus, antimicrobial coatings).
• Custom mounting, bezel designs, and integration for OEM projects.

CDS supports projects globally across Europe and the USA, providing expert consultation to ensure the right display is specified for each customer’s needs.
