Wincomm WTP-8866-19 stainless steel panel PC

Wincomm has introduced the WTP-8866-19, a 19″ IP65-compliant ruggedised panel PC with stainless steel construction that offers wear and corrosion resistance. The selection of material and design concept provides extended service life under harsh environments faced in industrial control environments, particularly the food processing industry.

Equipment cleanliness and disinfection are critical components in food processing environments. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel is essential in harsh environments due to the constant exposure to the caustic chemicals used during cleaning and sterilisation. The WTP-8866-19 was designed for continuous long-term exposure to these environments.

The PC incorporates the Intel Atom N270 1.6 GHz CPU and Wincomm’s Smart Fan thermal management design protecting the motherboard and components against overheating even when running 24/7 in challenging ambient temperatures. The company’s heat dissipation technology also incorporates anticondensation properties, which ensures an internal dry environment, especially in humid or cold exposure common in food processing and industrial facilities.

The WTP-8866-19 is equipped with a 350-bit LCD panel and has full IP65 certification. IP65 cables for USB, COM, LAN and DC-in are also available. For user convenience, all I/Os are located on the back of the panel PC enclosure. Apart from providing four USB ports, Wincomm has also added power/reset switches to make the PC easier to control and use.

A waterproof antenna and antenna socket provide overall waterproofing of the system and protect the computer against the frequent washdowns mandatory in food processing facilities.
