The FLEX KNOB redefines the feel of rotary encoders. As a software-controlled haptic encoder, it offers a customizable, realistic user experience for every application. Clicks, torque, end stops, and return to center can be flexibly configured and programmed via software.
Thanks to its fully programmable haptics, the FLEX KNOB can be used in a wide variety of environments and devices, from medical technology and industrial equipment to agricultural and construction machinery.
It provides manufacturers and developers with a standardized, flexible platform solution for numerous areas of application. The result is an intelligent haptic interface that actively interacts with the user and enables a new level of precision, safety, and operating quality. The FLEX KNOB combines digital flexibility and precision for a seamless and intuitive user experience in every application.
The FLEX KNOB enables fully software-defined haptic behavior, including a variable number and intensity of clicks, allowing the tactile feel to be tailored to each function or user preference. It supports dynamic and user-programmable end stops, enabling virtual limits that can change based on context or operating mode. An active return-to-center position can create the feeling of a realistic spring. In addition, dynamic torque control allows the resistance level to be adjusted in real time, providing intuitive feedback and guiding the user through the interaction.
