Description

KB010 Stainless Steel Industrial Keyboard with Integrated Trackball

The Inputel KB010 is a robust stainless steel industrial keyboard designed for demanding environments where reliability, durability and resistance to harsh operating conditions are essential. Featuring a full 64-key layout with an integrated 38mm trackball, the keyboard is ideal for industrial control systems, self-service kiosks, factory automation equipment and other applications requiring dependable operator input.

Rugged Stainless Steel Construction

Manufactured using high-quality stainless steel, the KB010 has been engineered for continuous use in public, industrial and commercial environments where conventional keyboards would quickly fail. The vandal-resistant construction provides excellent protection against physical abuse while maintaining a professional appearance.

The keyboard incorporates laser engraved key legends, ensuring the characters remain clearly visible even after years of continuous use. Unlike printed legends that can wear away over time, laser engraving provides exceptional long-term durability.

Designed for Harsh Industrial Environments

The KB010 carries an IP65 environmental protection rating together with NEMA 4X compliance, providing excellent resistance against dust, water ingress and contaminants commonly found in industrial environments.

These protection levels make the keyboard suitable for use in production facilities, food processing equipment, medical systems, outdoor kiosks and other installations where equipment may be exposed to moisture, dust or frequent cleaning procedures.

Integrated Industrial Trackball

An integrated 38mm stainless steel trackball eliminates the need for an external pointing device, allowing complete control of industrial PCs and HMI systems from a single compact operator interface.

The integrated design reduces installation complexity whilst improving reliability by removing additional peripherals and cables that could become damaged during operation.

Reliable Key Switching Technology

The keyboard uses high-quality silicone switching elements that provide smooth tactile feedback whilst delivering a key switch lifetime exceeding five million operations. A typical actuation force of 1N with 2.0mm travel provides comfortable operation without compromising durability.

This combination makes the KB010 well suited to applications requiring frequent data entry throughout the working day.

Simple System Integration

The KB010 operates from a standard +5V DC supply and is available with either USB or PS/2 interfaces, allowing straightforward integration into both modern and legacy industrial computer systems.

Its panel mounting design enables secure installation into operator consoles, machinery control panels, kiosks and equipment enclosures while maintaining the environmental protection offered by the keyboard assembly.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

Designed for demanding industrial installations, the KB010 operates across a temperature range of -10°C to +60°C, with storage temperatures from -20°C to +70°C. This allows reliable operation in manufacturing facilities, warehouses and outdoor protected installations where ambient temperatures may vary considerably.

International Compatibility

The KB010 is available with multiple language layouts and interface options to suit international installations and regional operating requirements. Custom language versions can be supplied on request, making the keyboard suitable for worldwide deployment.
