Joystick & Control Solutions

What we offer

• CAN-based joystick: Many axes and buttons over a single bus; wire count drops and diagnostic data is read from the bus.
• Analogue joystick: Voltage or current output, compatible with existing analogue control architecture.
• Proportional control: The curve between lever travel and hydraulic flow is programmable — soft for fine work, quick for rough work.
• Multi-function grips: Buttons, triggers, rockers and encoders laid out on the lever.
• Safety functions: Dead-man button, neutral position checking, dual-channel reading.
• Ergonomic placement: Mounting to suit seat and console position, at an angle that reduces fatigue over long shifts.

The same joystick behaves differently on another machine

A response curve that feels right on a loader can be too aggressive on a drill rig. During commissioning we tune dead band, gain and ramp values on the machine together with the operator. Settings are stored as parameters, and profiles can be defined for different operators.

Together with the valve and control system

A joystick only makes sense alongside the hydraulic valve and control unit. When working with CAN-based mobile hydraulic valves we can build the whole chain, from the lever to the valve, from a single source.
