Two-hand control
Safe operation of machines and systems.
CAPTRON is the pioneer of the first capacitive two-hand control with safety category 4 (PLe according to EN ISO 13849-1). The safeCAP series offers maximum safety when operating machines with a high risk of injury - e.g. presses or punches.
Force-free operation - noticeable relief in everyday life
The capacitive buttons respond absolutely reliably to touch - even when wearing disposable or work gloves. This ensures ergonomic operation that is easy on the joints, especially with frequent repetition.
Extremely durable - no failures, no replacement necessary
The switches are fully encapsulated and resistant to water, oil, dust and impact. The capacitive technology is wear-free - ideal for continuous use. Maintenance benefits from permanently reliable function without the need for regular replacement.
Maximum safety as standard
- Simultaneous actuation of both push-buttons required
- Protection against incorrect operation and unintentional triggering
- Certified to EN ISO 13849-1 (Cat. 4, PLe) & EN ISO 13851
- Visual feedback via LEDs
The SL3x SENSOR push-button series is available without independent approval to EN ISO 13849-1 for the individual design of a two-hand control with no or low safety requirements. The durability, reliability, robustness and ergonomics correspond to those of the safeCAP SC series.
Modular - can be combined to suit your application. CAPTRON offers suitable accessory solutions such as protective covers (Protector) or control panels for table mounting - all compliant with DIN EN 13851.
