The Keyence VT2-5SB is a 5-inch QVGA STN colour touch panel designed for industrial automation environments where compact size, reliable operation, and robust environmental resistance are critical. With its combination of intuitive operation and rugged construction, this panel provides manufacturers and system operators with a versatile interface that enhances both usability and equipment monitoring.

The colour QVGA STN display allows for the presentation of detailed system graphics, alarms, and process data in a clear, easy-to-read format. Its compact 5-inch size makes it ideal for installation in equipment or control panels where space is limited, while still delivering a user-friendly experience. Operators can interact with processes directly on-screen, reducing the need for external buttons or switches and enabling more efficient workflows.

Durability is a core strength of the VT2-5SB. The front panel is rated IP65f, meaning it is resistant to dust ingress and splash water, which is especially important in applications such as food processing, packaging, or environments where machinery is exposed to washdowns or airborne particulates. The panel-mount structure ensures that the device integrates seamlessly into existing enclosures while protecting internal electronics from environmental factors.

Electrical reliability is also a standout feature. With Class D grounding (Class 3 grounding), the panel is designed to minimize interference, maintaining stable communication and display performance. In addition, the VT2-5SB provides excellent noise resistance, capable of withstanding disturbances of up to 1,500 Vp-p with a 1 µs pulse width (common mode, using a noise simulator). This makes it suitable for environments where high levels of electrical noise are generated by motors, drives, or welding equipment.

From an operational perspective, the panel is built to withstand a wide range of conditions. With an ambient operating humidity range of 35 to 85% RH (non-condensing), it performs reliably even in variable climates, making it suitable for diverse global applications. Power consumption is efficient, requiring 900 mA or less, ensuring low operating costs and compatibility with existing power systems.

Overall, the Keyence VT2-5SB is an ideal solution for industries seeking a compact, robust, and user-friendly touch interface. It combines the visual clarity of a colour QVGA display with the ruggedness demanded by industrial settings, providing operators with confidence in both performance and durability. Whether deployed in automated production lines, process control systems, or machine interfaces, the VT2-5SB enhances operational efficiency while maintaining resilience under demanding conditions.
