Safety Key - For critical industrial and medical applications

Patented switch solutionCombination of two technologies (optical and capacitive) for a safe releaseEasy to use, elegant glass surface, flush front panel - these are characteristics that you can expect from a PCAP design. Unfortunately, there are situations where unintentional or unwanted activations of the PCAP touch screen occur, whether by electromagnetic interference or water wetting the front.

Security through redundancy

In critical applications, you want to be sure that no false activations occur. The Safety Key offers all the advantages of the PCAP sensor and combines it with an independent second level that monitors touch input with an optical measuring principle. Only the combination of two events leads to an operation being passed on to the system behind it.

Patent pending

The patent-pending process enables the development of high-quality surfaces with touch input and offers the security of a mechanical button. The Safety Key is not a finished product, but a demonstrator for the technology that can be integrated into your own products.
