LASER TRACKBALL MODULES
Z38 & Z50
3rd AXIS LASER TRACKBALL MODULE
38 mm or 50 mm ball
Utilizing the latest and most advanced laser tracking technology, the ZSeries Laser Trackerballs™ are extremely high specification, contact-less
devices, ideal for the most demanding of cursor control applications. The
device provides both conventional X and Y-axis cursor movement with
an additional Z-axis control wheel surrounding the ball. The laser
tracking engine provides accurate cursor motion at all speeds and on
virtually any ball, combining the benefits of solid state sensing (no
moving parts except the ball).
The unit has been designed to be back of panel mounted as part of OEM
keyboards and consoles.
