Sof-Touch Palm Buttons

The Sof-Touch Palm Button is the gentle way to initiate your machine cycle.  Sof-Touch is a direct replacement for conventional mechanical spring-loaded palm button and reduces ergonomic injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and requires no physical pressure.  Sof-Touch is a totally self-contained direct replacement for conventional spring-loaded run buttons.

Why Use Sof-Touch?

Benefits

The current method of simultaneously pressing hard on two spring loaded mechanical buttons in order to initiate the cycle of a machine has been discovered to cause a serious wrist injury known as "Carpal Tunnel Syndrome".

Sof-Touch eliminates the need to press. Simply touching the green detection zone generates the start command. The gentle motion of the hand and wrist virtually eliminates all stressful and forceful exertions associated with pushing mechanical buttons.

Advantages

  • Mounting holes that match standard Bell box spacing and Reese dimensions
  • Long life output relay: 100 million mechanical, 1 million electrical operations
  • Green indicator LED on face of each button
  • Durable ABS and Lexan polycarbonate material immune to lubricants, shock and vibration
  • Screw clamp wiring terminals for up to 14 GA wire
  • Self contained timed operation with anti tie down check
  • Self-contained output relay with isolated NO and NC contacts (plug in replaceable) 2 N0 and 2 NC also available
  • Complies with standards NFPA-79 for color of run buttons on machinery. GREEN - No other color acceptable
  • Optional 15-24 VDC input units.
