Product Advantages
1. Powerful Performance, HD Interaction
An industrial-grade dual-core Cortex-A7 processor at 1.2 GHz ensures fast handling of complex data and smooth system UI. The 8-inch TFT HD display (800×600 resolution) has a service life of up to 20,000 hours with over 98% visibility in strong light. Built on Qt 5.12.5, the operating system is complete and stable, reducing system development effort.
2. Precise Touch for Industrial Use
4-wire industrial resistive touch technology provides strong anti-interference performance and supports precise operation with industrial gloves. A dedicated touch pen is included, maintaining responsive input even under oily or dusty conditions to safeguard operating efficiency.
3. 3-Position Enable with Safety Redundancy
The dual-contact design provides three-state protection — "inactive / enable / panic". Releasing or gripping firmly stops the robot immediately; industrial-grade safety redundancy eliminates misoperation and accident risks, with a misoperation rate below 0.1%. The enable switch signal wires are integrated inside the pendant, requiring no additional wiring.
4. Dual-Contact E-Stop, Flexible Connectivity
Zero-delay cut-off in emergencies; the twist-to-release design prevents accidental activation and inadvertent reset. Users can choose 2-wire (one normally-closed contact set) or 4-wire (two normally-closed contact sets) E-stop configurations. E-stop and enable signals support either communication or I/O connection, perfectly matching the safety standards and redundancy requirements of various control systems.
5. Precise Jogging, Flexible Customization
A built-in electronic handwheel (AB-phase pulse signal, 20 pulses/revolution) supports mouse mode or fine-jog adjustment for precise teaching of complex spatial paths. With 21 customizable membrane keys, 4 LED indicators and a 3-position selector switch (manual/stop/auto), users can freely map functions to their specific process needs.
6. High Durability, Low Power
Passes 1-meter drop tests on all six faces, keeping the enclosure intact and core functions fully operational after accidental impacts. The cable passes 50,000 flex cycles at a 60° swing angle, making it ideal for high-frequency motion in cable tracks and similar applications. Rated power consumption below 8W keeps heat low, ensuring stability during prolonged handheld use and operation.
7. Flexible Deployment, Agile Integration
Standard Ethernet communication bus and USB HOST 2.0 interface ensure stable data transfer and easy expansion with peripherals such as USB drives and mice. Storage comprises 8 Gbit eMMC + 256 MB DDR3, with a built-in real-time clock. A dedicated wiring adapter box and aviation connectors enable standardized on-site cabling, greatly simplifying installation and subsequent maintenance.
8. Built for Extreme Environments
IP65 protection rating (display front), -20℃ to 70℃ operating range and -20℃ to 85℃ storage temperature. Withstands lightning surge ±4KV, fast transient bursts ±2KV, ESD contact discharge 4KV / air discharge 8KV. Humidity 10–90%RH (non-condensing), vibration resistance 10–25Hz (2G/10 minutes in X/Z directions) — the T40 confidently handles the harshest industrial environments.
