Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has announced the launch of 10.4-inch SVGA color TFT-LCD modules equipped with projected capacitive touch panels using cover glass of up to five millimeters in thickness. The new modules are designed for industrial applications, including measurement system machine tools, construction equipment, agricultural vehicles, factory automation, and gas station point-of-sale terminals.
Sample sales will begin on January 31, 2019 via Mitsubishi Electric offices worldwide.
The new modules will meet increasing industrial demands for thicker and sturdier cover glass that facilitates touch-panel operations by people wearing gloves. Accurate, multi-touch sensing is possible even when the module screens are wet. Combining these cutting-edge touch-panel capabilities with Mitsubishi Electric's proven TFT-LCD technology, the new models are expected to accommodate a diverse range of applications and installation configurations. 10.4-inch VGA and 10.4-inch XGA color TFT-LCD modules will also be available on an optional basis to further satisfy customer needs.

Cables and wires in industrial robots and other moving machine parts are often required to withstand extreme stresses caused by torsion. Constant repetitive movements put materials under considerable strain. At the same time, operators expect components to function perfectly and reliably throughout their entire service life to avoid disruptions, outages and safety hazards.
For this reason, at HELUKABEL, we simulate intensive and continuous torsion stresses under realistic conditions with our high-tech testing equipment in Windsbach. We have several types of apparatus for doing this because some of our customers, for example those in the automotive industry, have very precise specifications for how a torsion test is carried out. The tests show that our cables and wires withstand speeds up to 1,000°/s, accelerations up to 2,000°/s² and torsion angles up to 720°. Hence, we make sure that each product always meets our customers’ high standards, and that they receive the impeccable quality they rightly expect from us as a leading supplier of cables, wires and accessories for more than 40 years.
