VarTech Systems has redesigned several of its VTPC150V, VTPC150VS, VTPC170V, and VTPC170VS fully enclosed NEMA 4 and 4X VESA mount ToughStation industrial computers. The new design features a much thinner 5.55″ profile. VESA mounting and a thinner depth profile makes these models valuable space savers with high versatility in mounting.

The VTPC150VS and VTPC170VS models feature VarTech’s best-in-class stainless steel NEMA 4X (IP66) enclosure. The VTPC150V and VTPC170V models feature a rugged gasket sealed NEMA 4 (IP65) black powder coated aluminum enclosed housing. All four models fully enclosed design without any ventilation slots and external fans makes them completely splash-proof and dust-proof and as such achieves NEMA 4/4X (IP65/IP66) protection.

These fully enclosed NEMA 4 and 4X VESA mount ToughStation industrial computers are equipped with high-contrast, ultra durable industrial TFT displays that guarantee high quality images, even under deteriorated conditions. They are integrated with resistive touch screens which allow easy operation even when wearing gloves. All are ideally designed for pharmaceutical operation, factory process automation, and other harsh environments needing NEMA protection against windblown dust and rain, splashing or hose-directed water, and ice formation. These VESA mount all-in-one computers also  use a thermal management system to allow them to operate in temperatures ranging from 0° to 50°C with optional operational extended temperatures of -20°C.

These fully sealed computers are equipped with high performance Intel Pentium Core Duo processor (1.73 GHz), 120GB SATA 5400 RPM Hard Disk, 2GB of RAM, Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 and Windows XP Pro operating system.

These units feature 7 sealed and gasketted input/output connections which can feature several combinations according to the customers application needs.

Many of VarTech’s new products are manufactured with fan-less motherboards. There are quite a few benefits of a fan-less motherboard design in an industrial environment. The most relevant one is zero dust intake. Eliminating dust intake increases reliability and allows for silent operation. A regular fan cooled system pulls air into the computer which in a dust prone area can lead to fan failure due to dust build-up. If that happens the CPU fan will have to be replaced. The likelihood of even greater damage is very high if this happens because the components the fan is designed to protect can overheat and fail as well. Aside from failure due to dust intake, a processor fan is just another moving part and can fail from normal wear and tear or defects. Fan failure is a common occurrence in all computers but in a mission critical production environment it can be very costly. Silent operation is a benefit for any computer operator but may be essential in areas such as hospitals, recording studios, or libraries. I know I’d enjoy silent operation having had plenty of noisy CPU fans myself which prompt me to kick my PC tower.

VarTech offers fan-less small form factor computers, fan-less panel PCs, and fan-less computer workstations.

VarTech has recently developed a sunlight readable high bright version of its popular 19″ fully enclosed NEMA 4X workstation. The IP66 fully-sealed VT190ESWHB is ideal for demanding environments, and its 850 nits high luminance optically bonded LCD provides superb images in any lighting condition. This includes direct sunlight or any other high ambient lighting conditions. The VT190ESWHB has no external vents thereby protecting it from fine dust particles, dirt, rain, excessive moisture and other external contaminants. It utilizes an advanced airtight closed-loop thermal management system which allows for low internal ambient operational temperatures without using external air.Available with additional cooling options including air-to-air heat pipe compact coolers or thermostatically controlled Votex compressed air cooling. The VT190ESWHB is engineered with shock and vibration safeguards and utilizes the VarTech PowerCube, the most powerful and configurable core computer in VarTech’s industrial computer lineup. The PowerCube industrial computer is equipped with an Intel core duo 1.73GHz processor, 2GB of memory (standard), and a 120GB SATA hard drive with ShockGuard technology. Increased HDD and memory sizes are available. The PowerCube small form factor can also be purchased seperately.

NEMA 4 (IP65) and 4X (IP66) Models Utilize PowerCube Computers

VarTech Systems has recently released the PowerCube, which is the most powerful small form factor industrial computer in VarTech’s product line-up. Engineered with the latest technology including Intel’s new 1.73 GHz Pentium Duo Core processor, the PowerCube delivers the ultimate in high performance rugged small form factor computing.

The PowerCube is designed with a standard 2GB of memory and a multitude of I/O ports. Impressive features, such as a DVD/CD-RW drive, built-in gigabit LAN, USB and Firewire are included in the base system.

The PowerCube has been engineered with a vibration dampened, high performance Scorpio series hard drive to enable operation in the harshest environments. The Scorpio HDD delivers best-in-class performance with low power requirements comparable to much slower notebook drives. In addition, you’ll get the quietest 2.5-inch drive on the market with real-time data protection technology to help keep your data safe along with low power consumption that yields increased reliability. ShockGuard technology is utilized to protect the drive mechanics and platter surfaces from shock. DuraStep Ramp technology locks the heads in a secure position away from the disk to provide another layer of protection when the drive is not in use. Utilizing the most technologically advanced material available, the drive can perform a minimum of 600,000 load/unload cycles without contamination - up to twice the performance of its competitors. Additional vibration dampening bushing protection has been integrated on the exterior of the drive to provide the most advanced form of protection available.

The rugged all aluminum small form factor enclosure measures about the size of a hard cover novel yet surpasses performance of most desktop computers and notebook PCs. Multiple mounting options are available including an anti-shock and anti-vibration mobile mounting system, an ideal choice for rugged outdoor mobile applications. The compact size of the vehicle mount computer is smaller than a typical notebook computer, allowing for concealed installation in any available mounting location.

The robust PowerCube computer can either be purchased separately or installed within any VarTech industrial grade workstation and most of the VarTech all-in-one computers. PowerCube technology is also the basis of VarTech’s newly improved Rugged Industrial NEMA 4 (IP65) and NEMA 4X (IP66) Panel PC Computers.
