Due to numerous impulses from customers we developed our FM2 Foot Guard. For many applications a foot guard made of die-cast aluminium is too heavy, too large – in short: not suitable. Nevertheless, a large number of applications require a protection option for a foot switch.

This is where our new protective hood comes in and convinces with its compact dimensions and low weight. Robustness combined with maximum functionality. Powder-coated according to RAL, printed with logos and symbols – exactly according to your needs. As sheet steel construction, highly economically advantageous. Perfectly designed for your application.

From standard switching device to custom-made product:

ASA foot switches are used in industry as well as in the medical sector. With great success wherever hands must remain free and operations are manually triggered with the foot.

In oder to optimize our customers’ processes we have set ourselves the goal of developing a transport solution for the 2-pedal foot switch. Therefore, we created a transport bracket with a 5-stage detent. Our switch can now be flexibly controlled at any time - it can be easily taken along or moved by means of a bracket.

The stainless steel construction has smooth surfaces, hygienically easy to clean. The design is reduced to the essentials. Convince yourself of the quality and functionality - perfectly adapted to your application.

Please talk to our sales team - we will be happy to advise you and offer the optimum solution.

In order to optimize our customers’ processes we have set ourselves the goal of developing a latching safety guard for our foot switches of FM-series. Especially in laser surgery, but also in other areas of foot-controlled devices, unintentional operation of the foot switch must be avoided. When the guard is closed operation is almost impossible. To start the working process, the guard can be opened by a light step and the footswitch is ready for operation. It can then be closed again with a foot. Designed for minimum dimensions, perfect for transport on mobile units.

The powder-coated sheet steel construction has smooth surfaces, hygienically easy to clean. With handle cut out and non-slip elastic feet trimmed for maximum functionality and safety - perfectly adapted to your application.

In many areas, besides electrical procedures, pneumatic procedures have to be controlled directly. To work as you are used to, we have broadened our product range by a pneumatic foot switch. The installed valve controls with usual quality and highest degree of precision. The interior plug connections and included cable glands guarantee convenient handling – Promise!

We gladly advise and offer you a customized solution for your pneumatic application!

 
Have you ever actuated your foot switch accidentally?

So that this would not happen again we have the answer: We now offer (besides our established anti-trip mechanism) a hinged pedal cover made of stainless steel. Our safety option for your foot switches. Before actuating the pedal, the cover has to be lifted with the forward section of your foot. After actuating the pedal and leaving active pedal zone, the protection drops down to initial position – your pedal is protected again.

By popular request, we have added this stainless steel switch type in our level switch program. The contactless Reed technique achives long life and is extremly reliable. With minimal dimensions and good resistance a wide range of applications and use cases opens.

Design:

• Stainless steel 1.4571
• NO / NC or change over

Special features:

• The switching function can be changed from NO to NC by turning the float

Application areas:

• Level monitoring on the smalest space

With the new USB interface it is now possible to directly connect ASA foot switches to a PC or an Apple computer. Any possible shortcut that normally would be used with a keyboard can now be triggered by foot. That way your hands stay free:
You can easily forward or backward your PowerPoint presentation, without having to use a presenter. That way your presentation is a lot smoother and more professional.
Doctors can use the USB foot switch with their medical devices. Ultrasound images, for example, can be frozen on screen or a snapshot can be saved on a hard drive, while the treatment itself is not interrupted.
ASA foot switches with an USB interface can greatly improve your professional work: If you are a sound or video editor, you can play, pause or forward your media with your foot and therefore can become a lot more efficient.
There are numerous ways to use the new USB interface foot switch, but they all have one thing in common: the ergonomics of your workplace and your efficiency will be significantly improved.

The new ASA USB foot switch can be an additional or the only input device for your application.
With our supplied software, shortcuts can easily be programmed (Win/Unix/OSX specific as well) and due to an internal memory, it only needs to be done once. As soon as the shortcut is saved to the USB foot switch, it can be used on any computer (Windows, Apple, Linux) without having to install the software or a driver.
However, the very first programming has to be done on a Windows computer. We are happy to program the USB foot switch for your specific needs prior to delivery. That way you only need to plug it in and start working…

• 1- or 2-pedal
• 3-pedal USB foot switches will be programmed with your desired configuration prior to delivery. Currently it is not possible to program the 3-pedal USB foot switch yourself.
• These colors are available on short notice: black; red; yellow; blue; light gray. Other colors on request.

Special features:

• Plug & Play, no drivers needed.
• Easily programmable shortcuts (Win/Unix/OSX specific as well). The signal will either be trigged by pressing and/or depressing the foot switch.
• The shortcut(s) will be saved on an internal memory, that way the foot switch is ready for use at any computer, without having to install a driver or software.
• A maximum of 8 USB foot switches can be connected to a single computer.

Application areas:

• Scanning, controlling of medical devices, security systems, presentations, editing and a lot more…
