Illuminated Touch Buttons in a Flat Design

Banner K50 Flat ideal for pick-to-light applications in restricted spaces

Mülheim, October 19, 2017 – Turck is expanding its pick-to-light portfolio with the K50 Flat illuminated touch button from Banner Engineering, its optical sensor partners. Due to its low height of 17 mm, the robust IP69K button is ideal for use in restricted mounting conditions. Slight touch contact with the finger or palm with no physical pressure is enough to cause triggering. It is actuated just as well with gloves as with bare hands. The K50 Flat has similar functionality as the K50 dome indicators. It is used as a touch button, request button or in pick-to-light applications.

The K50 Flat is available with one to three colors and is also highly visible in bright environments. The button is designed with IP67/IP69K protection and is immune to false triggering through dirt, water droplets, oil or cleaning agents, as well as to electrical interference. With no moving parts, the light button is extremely robust and durable. The ergonomic design of the K50 Flat also protects the user from any strain to hand, wrist and arm caused by repetitive switching.
