Metal Touch

Metal Touch

Product catalog summary
Overview
Metal Touch technology by BATTOCCHIO S.r.l. integrates capacitive touch functions with metal-based Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI). It is designed for industrial applications where stainless steel and other metals are necessary.

Benefits
  • Compatible with various metals like stainless steel (AISI304) and aluminum, as well as non-conductive materials.
  • Prevents undesired touches.
  • Operable with gloves and in the presence of water droplets.
  • Unaffected by the human body.

Features
  • Ideal for industries requiring stainless steel, such as food processing, washing machines, ovens, refrigerators, and nautical applications.
  • Backlighting capability.
  • Supports various graphic methods including laser, chemical etching, and printing.
  • Detects different pressure levels on the same button.
  • Enables control movements like sliding, scrolling, rotating, and zooming.

Technical Explanation
Metal Touch technology remains a capacitive recognition system but differs from traditional devices like tablets and smartphones. It generates the necessary electric field difference through the mechanical deformation of the metal plates in the keyboard, caused by a light touch (e.g., 30 grams). This makes it suitable for environments where gloves are used and where water or other substances might interfere with standard electric fields.

Battocchio KEYBOARDS FOR YOUR FINGERS • Suitable for industrial field where stainless INOX it's necessary: alymentary industrial, washing machines, ovens, refrigerator, nautical et. • Many type of graphic are allowed (laser, chemichal etching, printing) • Possibility to detect different pressures in the same button • Control movements like sliding, scroll, rotor, zoom • Every Metal like stainless, AISI304, alluminium, et. can be use, nut also not conductive material • Gloves and water drops are allowed • No influence of human body MT Metal Touch Metal Touch technology finally allows to integrate capacitive touch functions with a HMI made of metal. While remaining a capacitive recognition technology it differs from classical sisters (eg tablet & smartphone) because in this case the difference of the electric field necessary for the recognition of the touch it's generated by the difference of the distance between the two plate of the "capacitor" constituted by the keyboard. Touching the button and pushing with a very low force (eg. 30 gramms) we generate a slight mechanical deformation (just some um) which create a difference in the electric field read by the microcontroller. It's particularly suitable in all those areas where there's a need to use the gloves and when the presence of water, liquids or other objects can may have bad interference with the normal electric field.
