Soft or fine ticks are haptic sensations with a small angular distance. The angle is usually between 2-6°, which means that you can feel up to 180 ticks during a full toration.
The haptic feedback can be compared to that of several mouse scroll wheels or radio knobs and feels like a fine ratchet. A soft tick pattern is particularly suitable for memus with many entries such as lists or timers.

Tick patterns, which XeelTech refers to as medium ticks, can be compared with the grid pattern of a variety of conventional household appliances such as dryers or washing machines.
A pleasant medium tick pattern can e.g. feature 10 individual haptic sensations with a pronounced tick strength. This makes it easy and reliable to distinguish between individual memu options in your user interface.

Rough tick patterns usually contain fever, yet very distinctive steps. You can use rough tick patterns for functions such as an on/off switch or to navigate through imple structured main menus.
The distinguishable haptic sensations guarantee reliable and targeted device control, even in demanding situations or when operating the device with gloves.

As long as no curent is applied, the HAPTICORE actuatoe rotates freely and only the basic torque of the actuator can be felt. However, the sensor remains active and reliably detects the movement of your input device.
The None mode is suitable for integrating a child safety mechanism, for example, and intentionally restricts the operation of the device.

Increasing the basic torque may sound strange at first, but it offers several anvantaged when designing your user interface.
On the one hand, increased torque can improve fine adjustment, for example, if the user has to apply more force to select values that are close to each other. On the other hand, out customers experience shows that users tend to addociate increased base torque with higher quiality.

Comparable to the None mode, the Lock mode is an impressive haptic function allowing the situation-dependent restriction of the device operation.
According to the application and purpose, XeelTech uses different HAPTICORE actuators with varying maximum torque. During the design phase, they will be happy to consult you find the right actuator for your requirement.

With HAPTICORE, you can freely define the angle of the barrier and thus limit the operating radius to a specific angle.

Do you have several settings options or your menu changes in length?The barrier corridor can adapt dynamically and still reliably indicate the limits.

Does an menu level only lead in one way? With HAPTICORE, you can use a unidirectional tactile barrier to guide users in the tight direction.

How does it feel?

Imagine the menu of washing machine where you can choose between different temperatures.

Combine of a rough tick pattern with 5 ticks at 30°intervals and a 180°barrier.

How does it feel?

Imagine and on/off switch with a dimming fucntion, e.g. adjust the volume or brightness.

180°barrier, starting from 0°after switching the haptics combines with a distinctive initial tick and subsequent soft ticks.

How does it feel?

Imagine you increase the volume and are notified of potentially harmful noises when the volume exceeds e.g.60%.
