Gesture control with Laing OptoSense

Laing OptoSense is an innovative system to operate table controllers. For mounting, only a 10 mm diameter hole is required in the table.

• Once mounted, the sensor nicely integrates into the tabletop and is hardly visible. The sensor is plugged directly into the controller from above, there is no cable required. Suitable for tabletop thicknesses from 15 mm to 43 mm.

• Operation begins with activation. The hand must be held 3 cm to 6 cm above the sensor then the LED lights up. To raise the table, move your hand a few centimeters upwards and hold it in that position until the table starts moving.

• To lower the table, the hand must be moved a few centimeters downwards and remain there until the table starts moving.

• After the movement has started, the hand can be moved up (maximum 20 cm) and down (to the tabletop). The movement continues until the hand is removed from the sensor area.

OptoSense assembly

For mounting, a Ø 10 mm hole is required in the table top, directly above the controller. The controller is screwed to bottom of the table top. The positioning stud on the controller end cap will positions the controller to the hole. The sensor element is inserted through the table top from above. Contact is established by conductive traces on the sensor element, which meet contact springs inside the controller.
