Industrial Joystick Control is an input device with embedded control concepts in the man-machine interface. It is a sophisticated device that is used to pick, place, and move a heavy object to the required place. Industrial Joystick Control is commonly used in cranes, excavators, forklifts, trucks, electro-hydraulic and material handling systems, steel mills, offshore drilling and to control valves in an oil rig. For consumer usage, the joystick also has made the use of power wheelchairs easier for individuals with disabilities, especially those with movement disorders. It enhances the quality of life for people who have difficulties in walking.
Current Joystick control options are a mix of electronic and mechanical components. Our range of joystick components provides high-performance on joystick control. Stainless Steel and Aluminum are most often used for functional structures and plastic is commonly used for joystick knob and buttons.
The Joystick Control industry demands products that meet exact specifications and the highest standards for reliability and quality. Through a combination of technology and in-house engineering and manufacturing expertise, we are able to design, manufacture, and deliver the highest quality products and sub-assemblies in the industry.
