Mechanical perfectionism
Our joystick controllers are crafted with the highest tolerances on mechanics. By holding the controller you will feel the smoothness, or stiffness of the handle which is controlled by different type of springs. With options such as high torque, spring return or light spring you will get the sensitivity suitable for your application
Rotary Sensors & Switches
There are many ways to configure the brains of the joysticks using hall sensors, potentiometers and optionally directional switches. Depending on the application it is possible to have double, triple or even 4-double sensors to be able to give independent outputs on each axis. You want to have a special electrical angle? No problem.
Custom designed handles
Every machine and every application has it's unique set of functions to be fitted into an industrial joystick controller. Therefore one joystick handle is often not the same as another joystick handle. See below more exotic examples of some of the customized handles we have crafted.
Applications where quality matters
Our joysticks are manufactured and designed to last a long time. With less than 0.01% return of our products we can be proud on our quality status. Have a look on our industry specific category of products such as the Marine joysticks or the ATEX joysticks. Be aware; what you see is only a fraction of what you can get! Get in touch.
