General
Advanced industrial process automation and measurement
systems often require the input of data from an Operator. With
simple systems of small complexity this is normally the input
of a number or code. Multiswitch, the family of thumbwheel
switches from Crameda Intersys, are the ideal device for this
purpose. The design principle is that of a step switch but
deviates from conventional switches in that the switch shaft is
not perpendicular but parallel to the front panel.
Multiswitch thumbwheel switches are used in machine tool
control systems, measurement and test units, control and
regulation systems, sound and vision control systems, medical
measurement systems, etc. The essential features of the
thumb-wheel switch are it's high reliability, precision and
contact en-durance. Many years of experience with diverse
applications has resulted in a comprehensive range of
products with an extremely high level of component quality.
