The innovative knobs solve these issues. They are applied directly to the touchscreen and allow more precise control than traditional virtual rotary knobs. By intelligently adjusting the touch recognition, movements on the fixed rotary knob are captured and interpreted accurately. The result: tactile, reliable operation without the need for specialized touch sensor patterns.
Benefits of knobs at a Glance:
- Increased Precision & Operating Comfort – Fixing the rotary control on the display allows for accurate detection of finger movement along a defined circular path.
- Flexible Integration – The number, shape, and position of the rotary controls can be customized without changes to the firmware of the touch controller.
- Fewer Components, More Efficiency – The direct integration on the display reduces the need for separate control elements, optimizing both the overall height and production costs.
- Universal Application – Works on any capacitive touch display or under glass surfaces without additional hardware adjustments.
- New Application Possibilities – Particularly exciting for the medical field: The combination of knobs as flexible elements with authorization profiles and keyless access technologies opens up new possibilities for secure, transparent, and flexible user interactions.
Combining tactile feedback and smart touch detection, the knobs revolutionize the operation of industrial HMIs – for more precision, flexibility, and a seamless user experience.
