Capacitive solutions

Complete capacitive HMI solutions integrate precise PCAP sensors and touch ICs. In combination with printed glass and robust aluminium or plastic carriers, they are ideal for industrial automation, control and medical technology. Customised printed glass panels ensure durable surfaces and intuitive operation.

Advantages:

  • Precise control thanks to PCAP sensors and touch ICs

  • Robust construction with glass, aluminium or plastic

  • Brilliant, durable surfaces thanks to customised printing

  • Intuitive operation with capacitive buttons and controls

Areas of application

Medical technology

In medical devices and control panels, as capacitive solutions are easy to clean and are suitable for sterilisable surfaces.

Industrieautomation

For machine controls and system operation in demanding environments where precision, durability and resistance to oil and dust are required.

Building automation

For controlling lighting, air conditioning and security systems, as capacitive panels fit well into modern, minimalist designs and are durable.

Commercial vehicle and automotive industry

For controls and touch operating elements in the vehicle interior that can be operated with gloves and offer a high level of robustness.

Resistive solutions

Even though resistive touchscreen technology has now been replaced by capacitive solutions in many areas, it still offers decisive advantages, especially under high loads and when the environment poses major challenges.

Advantages:

  • High resistance to external influences such as moisture, dust and dirt
  • Ideal for industrial environments
  • Can be operated with gloves
  • Ideal for difficult conditions such as production, logistics and construction sites.

Membrane keypad solutions

Robust and flexible, for every industry: membrane keypads are a durable and versatile alternative to conventional input systems and offer numerous application options thanks to their flexible design. With customisable printable surfaces, possible illumination and optional tactile feedback, they guarantee precise and convenient operation.

Advantages:

  • Economical and energy-efficient
  • Integration of simple front foils possible
  • Short-stroke buttons possible
  • Can be combined with front and printed circuit boards

Areas of application

Medical technology

Robust, dust and splash-proof input systems - easy to clean and ideal for use with gloves.
