Penny + Giles has added to its range the JC6000 robust multi-axis joysticks designed for demanding operator control applications.
David Thomas, UK and Ireland Sales Manager at Barksdale explains: "We know from experience the hidden costs in operating mechanical devices.
Longer installation times, regular adjustments, preventative maintenance all contribute to increased costs.
The UDS7, on the other hand, is up to 25 per cent less expensive to purchase and operate and enjoys a much longer life".
While direct cost savings are significant other savings can also be made.
For example, system parameters may be updated without interruption of production, actual pressure is displayed without an additional manometer and the integrated failsafe monitoring system removes the need for preventive maintenance.
The UDS7 offers high levels of accuracy, typically ñ+/-0.5 % (full-scale), repeatability <0.1%, no setpoint drift and measurement ranges from 0-0.2 to 0-1000 bar.
Additional features include a menu-driven microprocessor controlled tactile keypad for data input, with option of either an alphanumeric 4-digit dot-matrix or LCD display, LEDs for switching mode, an LED for alarm/error mode, onboard diagnostics, a range of outputs, as well as several safety functions including self-test after switch on.
