EAO, the expert partner for Human Machine Interfaces, offers the rugged, reliable and vandal-resistant W.Series metal keyboard, designed specifically to operate in harsh internal and external public environments.
The heavy-duty, all metal W.Series keyboard range features a front plate constructed from brushed stainless-steel, together with chromed Zamac (zinc alloy) anti-pull off keys. The W.Series delivers high levels of resistance against shock and vibration.
EAO’s W.Series keyboard range is ideally suited to ‘hostile’ public service environments including point-of-service information terminals and multimedia applications including libraries, shops and internet kiosks. With protection of IP67 from the front against the ingress of dust and water, the range is ideal for outdoor applications.
Whilst incredibly tough the W.Series keyboard retains the smooth key action of a normal PC, with a 1.5 mm travelling feedback. The keys are finished in matt chrome and are laser engraved for high-definition black marking which will not easily corrode or wear off. EAO has the technology to create custom-specific layouts upon request.
EAO’s W.series range is available in:
• A choice of two interface languages : PS2 and USB
• Standard availability in the keyboard layout of 10 different languages
• Internet dedicated shortcut keys like ‘www’, ‘.com’ and ‘@’
• A single integrated unit for faster, easier mounting

EAO, the expert for Human Machine Interfaces, has in its product range some touch-sensitive keyboards which are extremely tough, versatile and cost effective.
The keyboard operates from under a transparent protective screen that resists cleaning agents and fluids, moisture and dirt ingress, and damage from shocks and impacts , making it suitable for a wide spectrum of applications located in:
• aggressive environments polluted by dust, grease or ink particles suspended in the air, e.g. printing machines.
• sterile environments cleaned using ultrasonic techniques, e.g. medical equipment.
• hygienic environments cleaned using pressure washing, e.g. food packaging equipment.
• explosive atmospheres which must be free of contacts and electro-static discharge.
• public areas susceptible to vandalism, e.g. public-access internet kiosks.
The keyboard is extremely thin, which allows it to be mounted in existing machines. What’s more, the keyboard layout can be designed and configured out-of-box to suit different applications by using the simple-to-use proprietary software. The customer can vary the position of function keys according to their specific needs and alter the sensitivity of the keys according to the material of the protective screen. There is a choice of standard keyboard layouts for 10 different languages, a feature which makes the EAO touch-sensitive keyboard suitable for use across the world.
The keyboard, available with PS2 or USB interface, is compatible with both PC and Apple Macintosh operating systems.

The new edition to this range of mechanical, metal keyboards offers six rows of keys including the standard ‘F’ function keys. The ‘F’ keys perform the same, standard functions as any other office keyboard. Different language layouts are available also.
Even with an extra row, the external dimensions of the MF2 layout are exactly the same as the existing 5-row keyboards, so existing equipment can be upgraded without design changes.
Strength and durability are at the heart of this product. A brushed, stainless steel front plate provides resistance to shock and vandalism up to IK09 (10J) and resistance to liquid and dust penetration to IP67. The anti-pull-off keys are made from Zamak with a chrome finish and offer more than four million operations. Key markings are enhanced by using laser engraving methods to give better resistance to wear.
The keyboard can be supplied with an integrated numeric pad, similar to a standard office keyboard, or with an integral ‘trackball’ pointing device, which is available in three types: stainless steel, phenolic (plastic), and optical.
The optical trackball provide full sealing to IP67.
EAO’s W.series keyboard range is particularly suited to the needs of any public environment applications including kiosks and information terminals, or any harsh industrial environment.

InduKey Keyboard Production presents the next generation of vandal-proof stainless steel keyboards, InduSteel and InduSteel². These stainless steel keyboards have been specially developed for the POI market and for semi-supervised or unsupervised applications. The InduSteel range offers the combined benefits of robust construction and quality data input making it the ideal choice for kiosk builders.
Most internet based kiosks such as web payphones come with keyboards. The clients who use these facilities are mostly web surfers and email users and are more familiar with the use of keyboards. In general touchscreens will remain popular for use in the public and retail sectors but keyboards will continue to be used for all kiosk types, especially in the fast growing internet based kiosks segment.
The InduSteel range is ideally suited to ‘hostile’ public service environments such as information and multimedia terminal applications including libraries, shops and internet kiosks. Sealed to IP65 standard, a silicon membrane between the keycaps and the silicon switching elements prevents any ingress of liquid and dust also making the range ideal for outdoor applications.

The high-quality industrial keyboard TKG-105-MB-IP68 of the keyboard specialist InduKey® Keyboard Production from Treuen, Germany was tested in the Institut for medical microbiology & hospital hygiene (clinical center of the Philipps university Marburg) on risks within the hygiene-sensitive fields. These tests have shown that the data input device is best suited for exertion in hygenically critical and sensitive fields regarding the possibility of a spraying and/or a wiping disinfection.
The complete keyboard surface is provided with a complete silicone cover, which causes a high stability against chemicals. The cable connection consists of a non-spiral, smooth and sealed data cable.
The lower surface of the Induproof is closed by a stable, disinfectant persistant metal plate, so it is resistant against solvents and acids.
