VTBN6Q

The VTB series Touch Button that are ergonomically designed to eliminate the hand, wrist and arm stresses associated with mechanical push buttons. They require no physical pressure to operate. LED indicators light when power is on and outputs are activated. The solid-state output interfaces to a system controller, which is pre-programmed for a specific sequence of tasks. Mounted in or near each bin in an assembler’s work station, the sensor job light signals the assembler which bins contain items to be picked in a given operation and in what order they should be picked. As the assembler takes a part in sequence, then reaches a finger into the yoke of the corresponding Touch Button, the sensor senses that the part was removed and it sends an output signal to the controller. All models are immune to EMI, RFI and ambient light interference. VTBs have either a black polysulfone or red polycarbonate upper housing and a translucent white polycarbonate base.

• Microcontroller-based photoelectric touch buttons
• Easy-to-install alternative to capacitive touch switches
• Mechanical push buttons for errorproofing and parts-verification applications
• Illuminated base provides a bright, easy-to-see job light in one or two colours
• LED power and output indicators
• NPN or PNP output, depending on model
• Immune to ambient light, EMI and RFI interference
• High excess gain cuts through heavy airborne contamination to function in almost any environment
