Bosch Rexroth IndraControl VAK industrial keyboards are rugged operator-input devices designed to pair with Rexroth visualization and operator terminals for controlling and navigating graphical user interfaces in industrial machines.
The series includes both sealed front keypads and drawer-style keyboards, using short-stroke keys and an integrated numeric block to support full HMI operation in control cabinets. For flexible operation, the keypad versions include assignable function/variable keys (with slide-in labeling) and a cursor-key/shift “mouse” function to navigate screens without an external pointing device, while maintaining a shallow installation depth suited to slim cabinet doors. The drawer keyboard versions provide a PC-style key layout with integrated mouse functionality and a slide-in rail/locking design so the keyboard can be stowed when not in use. Across the lineup, the front is built for industrial environments with a high protection rating at the operator side and standard PC-style interfaces for integration with the control system.
