Another New Auto-Drawer System

Not to be outdone by Blum, Grass too has a new drawer slide system that automatically opens and closes with a nudge.

Sensotronic is being introduced at KBIS (the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show) in April of 2008.

Sensotronic
Grass presents the amazing drawer system, Sensotronic. It opens & closes automatically and eliminates the need for handles on the drawer fronts. The Sensotronic moves by means of electro/mechanical, full-extension cabinet members that mount underneath a Nova Pro drawer. When closed, using light pressure will open the drawer fully or stop it at any position with a light tap. To reverse the action, use light pressure again & the drawer will close automatically and reset to the parked position.
