Touch switch

The co. has released the SUNX brand optical touch switch, the SW-101, a zero-force replacement for mechanical pushbuttons that are commonly used in two-hand control safety applications. It features a comfortable, ergonomic design that allows for multiple mounting configurations to achieve optimum application coverage. Fully configurable operation indicators add to the functionality of the switch by offering visual feedback to the operation with respect to the process status. Long-life PhotoMOS outputs coupled with a virtually indestructible casing make the SW-101 an asset to any machine safety program, the co. states.
