Command Strips from 3M Help Casinos Save Time and Money

3M Touch Systems, a division of diversified technology company 3M, has announced a new and unique method for removing and integrating touch sensors in casino slot machines. Now available to all direct customers and through distribution by means of Arrow and Eurocoin Ltd, the Command Strips for Touch Sensors have been developed specifically for all MicroTouch EX Systems from 3M. Based on Command’s “peel and stick” adhesive and patented “stretch release” technology, 3M now offers casino operators a cost-effective and time-saving alternative to traditional touch display repairs.

Replacing a damaged touch sensor or a working sensor on a broken LCD display can take experienced slot technicians nearly an hour. Using Command Strips for Touch Sensors, touch sensors can be removed in seconds by merely pulling the exposed tabs. Also, by using the Command peel and stick strips, a touch sensor can be quickly integrated in minutes, especially since Command’s stretch release technology leaves no adhesive residue to clean. Casinos adopting this mounting method can reduce their future touch sensor replacement time and help return repaired games to the casino floor more quickly.

“By leveraging the renowned Command brand, we are able to continue our development of reliable and robust touch technology that helps casino operators to realise increased efficiency, reduced maintenance costs and improved machine uptime,” said Paolo Pedrazzoli, Marketing Operations Manager, 3M Touch Systems.
