Precision meets flexibility – innovative touch options with knobs for touch monitors

In many applications that use compact touch displays, precise and intuitive operation is essential. However, factors such as liquids, gloved operation, or high demands on haptic feedback make accuracy difficult. Knobs offer the innovative solution.

They are applied directly to the touchscreen and enable more precise control than conventional virtual knobs. Through intelligent adjustment of touch detection, movements on the fixed knob are precisely recorded and interpreted. The result: tactile, reliable operation without the need for special touch sensor patterns.

Advantages of Knobs at a glance:
• Increased precision & ease of use – Fixing the knob to the display enables precise detection of finger movements along a defined circular path.
• Flexible integration – The number, shape, and position of the knobs can be individually customized without changes to the touch controller's firmware.
• Fewer components, greater efficiency – Direct integration on the display reduces the need for separate control elements, optimizing both the installation height and production costs.
• Universal application – Works on any capacitive touch display or under glass surfaces without additional hardware modifications.
• New application possibilities – Particularly exciting for the medical sector: Combining the Knobs as flexible elements with authorization profiles and keyless access technologies opens up new possibilities for secure, transparent, and flexible user interactions.

With the combination of haptic feedback and smart touch recognition, the Knobs are revolutionizing the operation of industrial HMIs – for greater precision, flexibility, and a seamless user experience.
