State of the art components

The bodies or ‘chassis’ are CNC machine-formed from 16-gauge aluminum, and then chromed or powder-coated. All front bezels are anodized or powder-coated aluminum, and are capped with scratch and high impact resistant 1/4” Lexan faceplates. The fit and finish of each unit is outstanding.

The LCD monitor is protected by the full-length Lexan cover and the micro-thin keypad is flush-mounted in the Lexan. A custom transparency of the location (host) covers much of the front fascia, and is backlit with 3 bright energy efficient fluorescent bulbs. Each Station is connected on-line via cable or ADSL data line, which is supplied by the location or host. A single 120-volt AC wall connection is all that’s required for power.

The unique look of the kiosk is in part contributed to by the manner in which the membrane keyboard is inlayed overtop of the Lexan face cover. This 30-thousandths thick micro-sandwiched keyboard is routered into the Lexan from the surface, thereby allowing a totally flush and seamless direct contact pad for the user, while allowing visual continuity with the underlying veneer covered faceplate housing the user controls underneath.

The main enabling design feature is the manner in which the hinged front facing (held in place by the frame retainer) swivels open to allow quick and easy access to the backlight poster for swapping out for another poster to completely change the location graphics.
