Touch sensors (CAPTRON)
Fully electronic switches with touch sensor technology
The first capacitive switches with touch sensor technology from CAPTRON were used in 1994 for public transportation. Today, CAPTRON offers a wide range of capacitive SENSORswitches for various industries and applications where unconditional reliability, durability, comfort and design are required.
In addition to a wear-free and maintenance-free electronics, the SENSORswitches have a very robust and vandal-proof design. Their 100% water-and oil-proof construction will resist even the most adverse environmental influences as well as industrial effects such as dirt, dust and chemicals.
The versatility of SENSORswitches means that they can be used almost universally with different shapes, materials, connection types, installation types, installation depths and specific standards and requirements.
If necessary, SENSORswitches from the standard range can be tailored and modified optically and technically to meet individual customer demands.
NEW: THE CANEO SERIES WITH IO-LINK
Discover the new CANEO series. The new HMI Standard of capacitive switches offer innovative design with the option to freely configure all function parameters via IO-Link, that includes switch sensitivity, actuation types, the minimum actuation time and the fluorescent color.
As a result, CANEO series10 switches can be flexibly integrated into connected environments, offering major benefits for all HMI applications in food and beverage, industrial automation, mechanical engineering, robotics and building technology industries.
- Freely programmable functions: Switch sensitivity, actuation type and time as well as various output signals
- 16 million colors: 16 Million fluorescent colors available to choose from
- Optical feedback (depending on variant): 360° Visibility, configurable LED ring, 7-segment display
- Water-resistant (depending on variant): In case of contact with splash or cleaning water the switch will not activate
- Adaptive brightness: The switch brightness adjusts automatically or manually to the ambient light
- IO-Link-capable: Configuration of all function parameters via IO-Link
- Further connections: Operation without IO-Link possible (PNP, NPN, Push pull)
