emoswitch
Footswitches
Extremely flat. Extremely rugged. For medical technology and industry.
Freely adjustable switching point, fatigue-free operation.
Housing of milled aluminum; base and pedals of stainless steel.
Waterproof and resistant to common cleaning agents.
The footswitch triggers functions while both hands stay on the device.
In clinical and outpatient practice the footswitch is among the most frequently used controls. It bears directly on workflow, ergonomics and safety.
Developed for medical technology, dental technology and test engineering, that is, for applications with high demands on hygiene, precision and robustness.
All three families are recognized by the computer as a keyboard and need no driver.
Wireless via a USB receiver: emulates a keyboard (HID), no driver needed, unique 48-bit code against erroneous triggering.
Single-pedal with a guard against accidental triggering.

A footswitch lets you operate devices and software without taking your hands off the task at hand. In medical technology, diagnostics, laboratory and test engineering and in industrial applications, footswitches are therefore an important part of ergonomic workplaces.
emoswitch footswitches by EMO Systems combine a particularly flat design with robust materials, precise switching technology and different connection options. Wired and wireless variants are available, as well as single and double pedal versions.
A footswitch for medical technology has to work reliably in daily use and be easy to clean. The emoswitch models were developed for professional use and have a robust aluminium housing with stainless steel on the base and pedals. The materials used are resistant to common cleaning agents and disinfectants.
The flat construction of the emoswitch footswitches makes them comfortable to operate. The pedal is easy to reach and is actuated with a clearly defined switching point.
On the classic emoswitch variants, the switching point of the microswitch can be adjusted individually. On double pedal versions, one or two microswitches per pedal can be fitted depending on the variant. This makes two-stage or self-monitoring circuits possible, for example.
Depending on the workplace and system requirements, EMO Systems offers different connection options.
Wired footswitches are particularly suited to fixed installations. The emoswitch-connect variants can be connected to USB systems through an adapter and are recognised by the computer as an HID input device.
Wireless footswitches give more freedom of movement at the workplace. The receiver also works as an HID device, so no additional drivers are required. Every wireless footswitch has an individual 48-bit code to prevent false triggering by other wireless footswitches.
Single pedal footswitches are suited to individual operating functions. Double pedal models allow several functions to be controlled with a single footswitch.
The right choice depends on the application, the connected system and the operating logic required.

For special applications, customised variants are available as well. Housing, surfaces, pedals, markings and connections can be adapted to the technical requirements.
A medical footswitch is an operating element developed for the particular requirements of medical work environments. These include robust materials, easy cleaning and reliable operation.
Several emoswitch variants have a robust, waterproof design. The exact protection rating depends on the model.
The materials used for emoswitch are resistant to common cleaning agents and disinfectants.
Yes. EMO Systems offers wired and wireless variants as well as single and double pedal versions.
