Airtact is a flexible interface between you and your air tools that adds incredible feel, comfort, and versatility.
You can use Airtact just as it comes, or easily customize it to fit your individual techniques.
Control handpieces with your hand, finger, palm, thumb, foot, mouth, and other ways.
There are two parts to Airtact: the CONTROL SYSTEM and the TOUCH ELEMENT.
Inside the Control System is a pneumatic servo that varies the airflow to/from your handpiece to regulate power from fine to full. The Touch Element tells the Control System how much handpiece power you want just by how you touch it.
The Touch Element is connected to the Control System with a flexible tube slightly larger than a strand of spaghetti. This tube has a small wisp of low pressure air traveling through it. As you vary the airflow coming out of this tube, the Control System increases or decreases the power to the handpiece.
It’s amazing how smooth and effortless it feels. The Touch Element can be mounted anywhere on the handpiece, the floor, your bench, your hand, your mouth … practically anywhere. It’s incredibly natural and comfortable.
The unique magic of Airtact is this special “partnership” between the Control System and the Touch Element. The Control System is the real “brains” while the Touch Element is simple, compact, rugged, and inexpensive. You’ll love the flexibility and precision of this new control.
The Airtact design team observed at least three different ways engravers, jewelers, and artists hold their pneumatic handpieces. Some hold them like a hand graver with the knob seated in their palm; others like a table knife with their finger pointed forward. Still others hold their handpiece like a pencil for stippling, texturing, hammering, etc. Airtact was designed to adapt to all these preferences and more. It allows hand control using the palm, finger, and thumb . . . whatever the user prefers.
Can be used with any GraverMach, GraverMax, or GraverMate . . . no matter when it was made.

The Palm Touch Element creates a simple interface between you and your pneumatic engraving system. With the Touch Element, you no longer depend on a foot control. Now you can have precise actuation that feels more natural.
Instead of using a foot pedal, pressure is applied to the Palm Pad (rubber end) located on the back side of the handpiece to activate. The Palm Pad can be customized for increased sensitivity.
