ITAC’s IP66 sealed HMI device achieves reliable operation by eliminating moving parts
Hand-Trak has been introduced by ITAC– a patented high-reliability gestural input device where the user simply moves a hand or finger over the device’s optical lens to communicate the desired direction, speed and distance of cursor movement, providing more precise control than either a sealed touchpad or joystick.
Itâ€With no moving parts, the IP66-sealed panel-mount or panel-top Hand-Trak unit is capable if withstanding heavy usage. It is vibration resistant and protected within a glass-reinforced polycarbonate housing. Hand-Trak can be permanently or temporarily mounted, or just rested on a panel, and used at any angle. The device is suitable for use indoors or outdoors and its internal printed circuit board has a conformal coating to provide an additional barrier to liquids, moisture and dust.
The RoHS-compliant Hand-Trak requires no additional software or device drivers to operate under Windows, Linux or Mac OS. Interfaces are available for USB, PS/2 and SUN communications protocols. The Hand-Trak unit is 119.7mm (L) x 107.2mm (W) x 40.1mm (H) and comes with a 2.4 metre connection cable. It weighs 277 grams.
