Penny + Giles has added to its range the JC6000 robust multi-axis joysticks designed for demanding operator control applications.
Single, double and three axis versions are available - all sealed to IP65 and designed to withstand normal operating forces of 300 N.
For off-highway applications additional safety can be provided with a centre lock handle option.
The design prevents the unit being moved from the neutral position until the operator releases a safety catch.
Small underpanel dimensions allow the JC600 to be installed in confined spaces, such as cab armrests, control consoles, etc.
The JC600 can be customised to suit specific applications.
An example is the joystick fitted to the latest MF Industrial Series 900 backhoe loaders which inorporates Penny and Giles' recently developed CAN bus interface. Request a free brochure from Penny + Giles ...
