ActiveTouch™ - Pushing the Boundaries of Switching Technology

November 2009 - ITW’s ActiveTouch™ patented touch-sensitive technology brings a whole new level of durability to switches, sensors and control systems.

Whether you define durability as long life, resistance to temperature and environment, resistance to physical damage or just a robust design, this technology excels at each of these criteria.

Imagine switches with no moving parts and virtually unlimited lifespan. Imagine seamless control panels where water or chemical intrusion is impossible. Imagine switches made from 1/2 inch thick stainless steel—impervious to even a hammer blow. Imagine sensors integrated with intelligence to report diagnostic information or adapt to the surrounding environment to ensure uninterrupted operation. All of these are possible and more.

As well as lending itself to incorporation into custom panel designs, ActiveTouch™ technology has also been developed into a range of standard Keypads (with 12 or 16-key versions currently available) and Pushbutton switches (in 19, 22, 30 or 38mm mounting diameters), for use in a vast range of applications where extreme robustness and high reliability are essential requirements.
