Penny + Giles has launched an addition to its range of JC6000 multi-axis joysticks. Using non-contact Hall effect technology, the joystick is claimed to last up to 15 million operations – twice as long as joysticks using potentiometer technology.
The JC6000 is designed to meet EMC requirements of up to 100V/m. Its base is fitted with a die-cast case to protect the sensing mechanism and is rated to IP66 above the mounting panel when installed.
There is a range of standard configurable handle designs available, including a ‘person present’ safety switch in the handle that can be connected directly to the logic circuits of the control system.
