SensPressTouch 

Precise and robust switching technology - perfect for extreme conditions and demanding applications

Sommer GmbH Hero-Grafik: SensPressTouch

Precise button operation for the highest demands

SensPressTouch technology offers exceptionally precise button operation thanks to extremely fine deformation detection. Every actuation is reliably detected, minimising incorrect entries and significantly increasing user-friendliness.

This high level of accuracy is particularly essential for practical applications such as medical technology and industrial control systems. In addition, the reduced mechanical wear ensures a long service life for the hardware - ideal for long-term operational readiness and maximum efficiency.

Highlights

  • Precise key operation
    Maximum accuracy in detecting button presses, minimising input errors and significantly improving user-friendliness.
  • Flexibility in the choice of materials
    The technology works flawlessly with different material thicknesses and types, from glass to metal and plastic, and opens up a wide range of design options.
  • Increased operating safety
    Reliable operability under extreme conditions such as splash water, glove use or heavy soiling, ideal for harsh environments.

Flexibility in the choice of materials

SensPressTouch technology uses highly sensitive strain gauges as force sensors and can be integrated into a wide variety of surfaces - from robust stainless steel and aluminium to glass and plastic. It impresses with its versatility and is ideal for a wide range of applications - from robust industrial applications to elegant, design-orientated solutions.

Its precise signal detection with material thicknesses of 0.3 to 1.2 mm guarantees maximum reliability and combines user-friendliness with maximum design flexibility. Whether in industrial plants, laboratories, medical technology, rail transport, kitchens and bathrooms or in high-end design - SensPressTouch adapts perfectly to any environment and fulfils the highest requirements.
