Hey All,
Our in-bay automatic has a single tape 32"x5" treadle switch that activates the wash cycle when the front tires of the car touch the switch. We are having issues where customer's cars may not land directly on that switch causing the wash to time out. I'm considering having the treadle switch bracket redesigned and adding two treadle switches that would cradle the customer's tire. So....basically two points of contact to help better position the car on the switch. I've attached some pictures of the design that I'm considering. I received these from a friend who works in automation. He looks the pics from a carwash in a neighboring state. I believe this may be a Superwash design.
My question for forum members is, does anyone else use a switch like this and is there anything else I should consider when doing this?
