DYNAFORCE
ULTRA SENSITIVE INPUT TECHNOLOGY
DYNAFORCE is a design-related solution for input systems.
Thanks to the ultra-sensitive strain gauge sensors, touch panels made of a wide variety of materials can be operated gently, even metal touch fronts made of stainless steel and aluminum. At the same time, DYNAFORCE is more robust, more waterproof and less prone to failure than other solutions. The best thing to do is to see for yourself.
Industry sectors:
“With more than 30 years of experience with piezo input systems, we know all the pros and cons of piezoelectric switching sources. Now we are replacing piezo technology with a new, improved system: We call it DYNAFORCE.”
Dieter Matter — Chief Executive Officer
DYNAFORCE is unique on the market and offers the following advantages:
- The solution is also extremely sensitive on metal surfaces (metal touch).
- Operation with gloves is possible without any problems.
- The application also works very well in wet, cold and hot conditions.
- Thanks to metal surfaces you have protection against vandalism.
- Assembly is extremely easy.
A whole new touch
Touch screens have conquered the world. With DYNAFORCE it is now possible to design touch-sensitive surfaces out of wood, glass, plastic, chrome steel or aluminum. The new solution thus offers countless new opportunities for user-friendly applications.
