Specification

An ergonomically comfortable design is expected, as is the possibility to position the foot switch anywhere. In addition, controls must be mechanically robust.

Realisation

Bearing this in mind, wireless foot switches are advantageous. Their position is not restricted by the length of a cable, for example. And thanks to a clear assignation during the teach-in process, several wireless foot switches can be operated in parallel within one wireless area.

Customer benefit

The freedom of movement of the operator is increased. Tripping hazards caused by cables are avoided. And foot switches are also the better solution where hygiene is concerned.
