Abstract

Durch die Kombination von Sensor-Systemen mit mechanischdruckempfindlichen oder verschleissfreien druck- bzw. lichtempflindlichen Systemen können optimale Lösungen für Sensortaster, nicht nur in vandalensicherer Ausführung, sondern auch in höheren Schutzklassen, erreicht werden.

Figure 00000001
By combining sensor systems with mechanical pressure-sensitive or wear-free pressure and light sensitive systems, optimal solutions for sensor buttons can be achieved, not only in a vandal-proof design, but also in higher protection classes.
