Built for the cab.
Excavators, loaders, cranes and forestry machines are operated for long shifts, with work gloves, while the whole machine shakes. Every control in the cab has to work the first time, for the lifetime of the machine.
And what the HABI Button changes.
Touch panels and light-touch buttons don't read a gloved finger reliably, so operators press twice or take the glove off.
Force plus capacitive sensing reads a deliberate press through a work glove. The threshold is tuned for your glove.
Bumps, vibration and an arm brushing the console can trigger functions the operator never chose.
A knock or vibration only shows on the force channel, so the button ignores it.
Mechanical buttons wear out and let in water and dust over years in the field, and every failure is a service visit.
A sealed front keeps water and dust out.
Typical placements.
Try it in your machine.
The Evaluation Kit lets your engineers test the HABI Button in your own application.
