PCAP Touch Screen Components

Projected Capacitive (PCAP) touch screens deliver precise multi-touch functionality and outstanding durability. At FORTEC UK, we supply custom PCAP solutions designed for industrial, defence, medical, and transportation environments.

What is a PCAP Touch Screen?

PCAP (Projected Capacitive) technology uses a transparent conductive layer to detect touch through changes in electrical fields. This allows:

Multi-touch capability (up to 10+ points)
High accuracy even with fast or complex gestures
Superior optical clarity with glass cover lenses
Rugged durability for harsh operating environments

Benefits of PCAP Technology

Engineers and system designers choose PCAP touch screens because they combine intuitive operation with resilience:

✔ Glove and stylus support (with tuning)
✔ Sunlight readability when paired with optical bonding
✔ Scratch-resistant glass options
✔ Seamless integration with TFT displays
✔ Custom cover glass printing for branding or instructions

Applications of PCAP Touch Screens

Our PCAP solutions are tailored for industries where reliability is non-negotiable:

Medical – sterile operation with anti-bacterial coatings
Defence – MIL-STD ruggedised assemblies with NVIS compatibility
Transportation – passenger information systems (PIS) with sunlight readability
Industrial Instrumentation – robust interfaces for factory automation and test equipment
