Description

KB001T Stainless Steel Industrial Keyboard with Integrated Touchpad

The Inputel KB001T is a premium industrial stainless steel keyboard with an integrated touchpad, designed for use in demanding environments where reliability, durability and long-term performance are essential. Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel and engineered to withstand harsh industrial conditions, the keyboard offers exceptional resistance to dust, water and vandalism while providing a familiar 64-key layout for efficient operator input.

Built for Harsh Industrial Environments

Designed specifically for industrial, commercial and public access applications, the KB001T features a rugged stainless steel construction with an IP65 and NEMA 4X protection rating. This ensures excellent resistance against dust ingress, water exposure and contaminants commonly found in manufacturing plants, food processing facilities, medical environments and outdoor installations. The vandal-resistant design makes it particularly suitable for applications where conventional keyboards would be vulnerable to damage or misuse.

Integrated Touchpad for Complete Operator Control

The integrated industrial touchpad provides accurate cursor control without requiring a separate pointing device. By combining keyboard and pointing functionality into a single compact unit, the KB001T reduces installation space, simplifies system integration and improves overall reliability by eliminating the need for external peripherals. This makes it an ideal solution for industrial PCs, kiosks, operator terminals and machinery control systems.

Durable Key Switching Technology

The keyboard utilises high-quality silicone switching elements that deliver reliable tactile feedback and long operational life. With a key switch lifetime exceeding 5 million operations, the KB001T is designed for continuous daily use in demanding applications. A typical actuation force of 1N combined with 2.0mm key travel provides a responsive typing experience while maintaining exceptional durability.

Long-Lasting Laser Engraved Keys

To maximise service life, each key features permanently laser engraved legends that remain clear and legible even after years of intensive operation. Unlike printed keycaps that may wear over time, laser engraving provides superior resistance to abrasion, chemicals and frequent cleaning procedures, ensuring reliable operation throughout the keyboard’s service life.

Simple Integration into Industrial Systems

The KB001T operates from a standard +5V DC supply and is available with both USB and PS/2 interfaces, allowing straightforward integration into both modern and legacy industrial computer systems. Designed for rear panel mounting, the keyboard can be securely installed into equipment enclosures, operator consoles and kiosks while maintaining its environmental sealing. An aluminium alloy mounting frame further enhances mechanical strength and installation stability.

Reliable Operation Across Wide Temperature Ranges

Designed for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments, the KB001T operates over a temperature range of -10°C to +60°C, with storage temperatures from -20°C to +70°C. This makes it suitable for factories, warehouses, outdoor protected installations and other locations where environmental conditions may fluctuate significantly.
