Allen Bradley 800Z Zero Force Touch Buttons

The Allen-Bradley Bulletin 800Z zero force touch buttons combine ergonomic designs with advanced sensing capabilities. These touch buttons are engineered for use in control systems that require operators to use both hands, and they provide control options that prioritize safety and user comfort in these control systems. Unlike traditional mechanical push buttons that require significant physical pressure to operate, the Bulletin 800Z touch buttons uses advanced capacitive sensing technology that allows them to respond to a light touch rather. This zero-force operation technology enhances system usability, reduces user fatigue, and helps prevent errors. The 800Z touch buttons can be used in control systems that require 2-hand control because these buttons are designed to prevent defeatability.

The Bulletin 800Z zero force touch buttons are designed to conform to the shape of the users' hands to enable precise and comfortable operation. They can detect touch commands through most types of industrial gloves, which makes them suitable for use in a variety of industrial environments. The capacitive sensors in the surface of the 800Z touch buttons operate in offset planes to ensure high levels of sensitivity and responsiveness. These capacitive sensors can reliably detect light or low-force touch commands, which is crucial in environments where accuracy and safety are essential. The sensors can also distinguish human touches from most foreign objects to prevent system errors. The 800Z touch buttons are available with touch surface sizes of 22.5 mm or 30.5 mm that support easy access.

In addition to their ergonomic designs, the Bulletin 800Z touch buttons are engineered to be durable and to support user and system safety. These buttons include diagnostic LEDs that provide real-time feedback during operation to simplify system troubleshooting and reduce downtime. These buttons also have replaceable output relays that enhance reliability, increase the operating lives of the buttons, and reduce maintenance costs. The 800Z touch buttons support electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) protection, which prevents interference from other electrical equipment and ensures consistent performance in electrically noisy environments. The 800Z zero force touch buttons are certified by global CE and cULus standards for safety and quality.
