Product overviewThe L50 Removable is a contact‑less infra‑red optical trackball designed for back‑of‑panel mounting in demanding environments. It uses a solid‑state infra‑red optical tracking engine (no moving sensing parts) combined with a removable top plate and ball to permit washdown, decontamination and sterilisation processes. Multiple electrical output options and configurable sealing/tracking force variants make the unit suitable for industrial, marine, medical and OEM console applications.
