Smart Dot 50 Touch Vibration: Touch Operation with Tactile Feedback
The Smart Dot 50 Touch from Auer Signal combines touch operation and visual signalling in one compact unit. Its flat operating surface is easy to clean and has no moving parts, making it a practical alternative to traditional mechanical push buttons. However, there is one key difference: with a standard touch button, the user cannot physically feel when an input has been registered.
Immediate confirmation with tactile feedback
The new Smart Dot 50 Touch Vibration addresses this by adding tactile feedback to the existing touch operation. When the touch surface is activated, the unit produces a short vibration, providing immediate confirmation that the input has been registered. The capacitive sensor can also be operated while wearing gloves, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.
Touch operation and visual signalling in one unit
In addition to tactile feedback, the Smart Dot 50 Touch Vibration features three-colour LED signalling, allowing the same device to provide operator feedback and machine status information. The LED can display different machine or process conditions using three signal modes:
- Steady light
- Colour change
- High Intensity Beat – a distinctive light pattern designed to attract additional attention
This allows the Smart Dot 50 Touch Vibration to function as a clear interface between the operator and the machine.
Simple integration into existing installations
As part of the Smart Signaling 50 series, the Smart Dot 50 Touch Vibration uses a standard M22 mounting hole (22 mm). This allows it to replace many existing signal lights or push buttons without requiring significant changes to the installation. For applications with a 30 mm mounting hole, an adapter is also available.
Electrical connection is provided via a 5-pin M12 connector, while protection up to IP69K makes the unit suitable for demanding industrial and hygienic environments where regular cleaning and resistance to harsh conditions are important. Overall, the Smart Dot 50 Touch Vibration combines touch operation, tactile feedback and visual signalling in a single, compact device — providing operators with clear confirmation while keeping machine controls simple and easy to integrate.

Part of the Smart Signaling 50 series
The Smart Dot 50 Touch Vibration is part of the Smart Signaling 50 series from Auer Signal. This series has been developed as a modular platform for industrial signalling, allowing different versions and function lines to be combined within one uniform platform.
Three function lines
The series is available in three function lines. The Basic line is designed for fixed signalling with one, two or three colours and predefined signal modes. The Standard line adds further functionality, including multiple colours and additional internal monitoring. With the IO-Link line, settings, status and diagnostic information are available via the control system, enabling central adjustment and continuous monitoring.
From compact signal light to complete signal tower
In addition to the Smart Dot , the series also includes the Smart Indicator and, during 2026, the Smart Tower, covering applications from compact signalling to multi-level or more extensive signalling.
Different variants are also available, including the Smart Dot 50 Touch with capacitive operation, which combines signalling and operation, as well as versions with a stainless steel housing for demanding environments, such as the food and beverage industry, where both appearance and hygiene are important. In addition to stainless steel, versions are also available in black and white to suit different machine and design environments.
Easy to expand and replace
The Smart Signaling 50 series is designed for continuous industrial use and has a uniform platform across the different versions within the series. All signal lights operate on an 18–30 V DC supply, have an LED service life of up to 60,000 hours and operate at temperatures from –40 °C to +70 °C. The series complies with UL Type 4 / 4X, supporting reliable operation in demanding industrial environments.
Thanks to this uniform design, signal lights within the series can be easily installed, replaced or expanded. The different versions are designed to work together, making it easy to scale up or switch between versions within the series. That is why we continue to say:
