Bright minds: Banner K50 Pro touch buttons
The easier it is to control and visualise a machine or plant, the higher its efficiency and the lower the error rate. The K50 Pro touch buttons from Banner offer a wide range of signalling options and drastically reduce the number of components.
Machine and plant manufacturers are forever called upon to increase user productivity and guarantee maximum process security using intelligent concepts. Operators needs to have an overview of the machine status and process sequence at all times. Control and visualisation must function perfectly even under difficult conditions. And that’s not all: gloves, wet hands and other circumstances must not hinder operation.
A wide range of products for a wide range of applications
The K50-series touch buttons from Banner are the ideal solution in every respect. These visualisation systems combine user-friendly touch technology with the robustness and diversity of RGB LEDs. The highly flexible, reliable solution from Banner is ideal for pick-to-light and call button applications in a variety of industries and environments. The buttons also have IP67 and IP69K protection classes, which means they can be used in high-pressure and steam-jet cleaning scenarios without any problem.
Easy to program and adaptable in many ways
The K50 Pro touch buttons are available in 50 mm domed or flat design. They can be quickly and easily programmed using the Pro Editor software and Pro Converter cable from Banner. What’s more, the colours and animations can be adjusted to any application. Each touch button can display up to 14 colours. The water-resistant, finely balanced touch technology reacts to the lightest touch and offers full functionality even if the operator is wearing protective gloves.
IO Link for customised status displays
The IO Link-compatible models have all the Pro functions and are managed dynamically via an IO Link master port. IO Link communication broadens the range of colour signal and animation options almost immeasurably: from blinking and dimming, to rotating and flashing and even multi-colour animations.
These bright minds are also available from Bachofen. Contact us for a personal consultation for a real insight into the wide range of Banner K50 touch buttons available, ensuring you make the right choice.
