Support that starts before the order

We build the touch layer and nothing around it. That means every project we ship has exactly one seam in it — the line where our frame or panel meets your housing, your firmware and your production line. Products do not fail on the display. They fail at that seam. Everything on this page exists to close it.

Where we get involved

Four moments, one engineer

Most suppliers appear at one of these four moments and disappear at the next. The reason our support is structured this way is that the same person who reviewed your drawing is the one who picks up when the unit misbehaves on site — so nobody has to explain the project twice.

Before you order

Drawing and clearance review

Send a DXF, a STEP or a photo of the housing opening. We check bezel clearance, glass thickness, FPC exit direction and controller space, then answer with a part number — or with the one thing that has to change first. Free, 24 hours, no order required.

While you build

Fit and interface questions

Which USB port, how long the cable can run, whether the frame fits behind a 3 mm front sheet, what torque the M3 inserts take. Answered by the engineer who specified the part, not by a sales inbox.

First power-on

Enumeration, calibration, multi-touch test

The twenty minutes where a good part looks broken: the OS calling it a mouse, a corner that reads 4 mm off, two fingers fighting each other. We do this with you on a call, screen shared, both ends looking at the same cursor.

After shipping

Failure analysis and spares

Photo or video triage within four working hours, then a written decision: replace, credit, or send the two components that actually failed. Controller boards and LED tubes for any frame we shipped are held for five years.

What we commit to

Response times we hold ourselves to

Measured in working hours, Monday to Saturday, 09:00–18:00 GMT+8. Anything that arrives after 18:00 starts the clock the next morning. If we miss one of these without telling you why, say so on the next email and it goes to the top of the queue.

What comes with the part

These are not options and they are not a support package. They ship with every order, including a single sample, because a part without a drawing and a calibration file costs both of us a week.

DeliverableWhat it contains
DatasheetGuaranteed limits, not typical values. If a number is not guaranteed, the sheet says so.
2D drawing and 3D modelDXF and STEP of the exact part you ordered, dimensioned to the outer edge.
Calibration toolWindows (7–11, 32/64-bit) and a Linux command-line build, plus the profile file for your size.
Installation sheetOne page: clearance, screw torque, cable route, grounding point, first-power-on test.
Controller power noteCurrent draw at idle and at peak, so you can check the port before the unit browns out.
Test recordTouch points, linearity, report rate and the operator's initials for the unit in your carton.
Packing specCarton size, gross weight, pallet pattern and container quantity for your size.
Firmware versionLocked at shipment and printed on the label, so a re-order behaves the same way.
Custom and large format

When the size is not on the list

Above 86 inch and anywhere the shape is not a rectangle, the engineering support is the product. A 3 m frame that bows 4 mm in the middle will read as a dead zone in the centre of the screen, and no amount of calibration fixes geometry. So the support starts at the drawing and ends with the spares kit.

DFM report before tooling

Three pages on what breaks at your dimension — frame stiffness above 2 m, glass sag, controller placement, cable exit. Sent before you pay for tooling, not after.

Mock-up in 5–7 days

Real extrusion and real corners, electronics only if you need them. Enough to check the fit in your housing before committing to a batch.

First unit built on video

For curved, L-shape and LED-wall frames we assemble the first one on camera and you watch the corners go in. It takes twenty minutes and removes most of the risk.

Per-batch firmware profile

The calibration and settings of unit 1 are cloned to the batch, so unit 400 reports the same coordinates as the sample you approved.

Spares kit

One controller and one LED tube per twenty frames, priced into the quote rather than discovered later.

On-site commissioning

Quoted at cost for projects above 100 units or above 86 inch. Two days, including training for whoever will service it.

Scope, stated plainly: we build from 8 inch upward and stop at 400 inch diagonal. No phone panels, no automotive dashboards, no smartwatch glass. Commercial displays, video walls, LED walls, exhibition and interactive terminals are what this factory is set up for, and it is why the tooling, the extrusion lengths and the calibration profiles already exist for your size.
Getting a fast answer

How to ask so it takes one round trip

Roughly two thirds of support threads run to six emails because the first one contains a symptom and nothing else. These five items turn it into one reply:

  • The label. Part number and date code are printed on it. A photo is faster than typing and settles which firmware you have.
  • Operating system and version, plus whether the host board is x86 or ARM. Android on an RK3588 and Android on a phone chipset behave differently.
  • What the OS calls the device. “HID-compliant touch screen” is a working digitizer. “HID-compliant mouse” means the descriptor was flashed in mouse mode and we will reflash it.
  • What changed. New cable, new glass, new housing, new OS build, unit moved building. Faults have a before and after.
  • A ten-second video of a finger touching each corner in turn. Corner-by-corner behaviour tells us more than any description.

Fifteen years

What the number actually buys you

We have been building touch components since 2011, which in this industry means we have already broken most of the things you are about to try. A frame that ghosts because the anodised coating insulated the ground path. A 98 inch unit that installed flat in the workshop and bowed on a wall in direct sun. A capacitive panel that worked perfectly until the customer wiped it with a disinfectant containing glycol. An Android box that reported single-touch because the kernel had hid_multitouch compiled as a module that nobody loaded.

None of that is in a datasheet. It is the reason the first reply to a support email usually contains a question you did not expect rather than a form to fill in — and the reason we would rather spend twenty minutes on a video call before you cut the housing than three weeks on an RMA afterwards.

FAQ

Support questions

Do you charge for technical support?
No. Drawing review, calibration help, remote sessions and failure analysis are free for anyone who has bought from us, and free for a serious enquiry before the first order. The only paid item is a physical visit to your site, and that is quoted at cost with no margin on it.
We are a small integrator ordering five units. Do we get the same support?
Yes, and in practice small accounts get more of it, because five units means you are doing the install yourself. A three-person integrator and a 500-unit-a-month account go through the same engineer and the same 24-hour drawing review. Volume changes the price, not the process.
Can you help if the display is not yours?
That is the normal case for an overlay: you already own the screen and want touch on it. We only need the lit area and the bezel width, not the display's part number — though the part number helps us confirm the panel's active area to the millimetre.
What do you need from us to diagnose a fault?
A photo of the label, the operating system and version, what the OS calls the device, what changed since it last worked, and a ten-second video of a finger touching each corner in turn. With those five things most faults are diagnosed in one reply.
Do you support products you did not sell?
Partly. Calibration and installation advice is the same physics whoever made the frame, so we will help. Firmware, spare controllers and calibration files are specific to our hardware and we cannot flash somebody else's board.
How long do you keep spare parts?
Five years from the shipment date for controllers, LED tubes, filter strips and cables. After that we will still try, but the honest answer may be that the extrusion tool is gone and the frame has to be replaced.
