Control Technology for Oil & Gas Machinery
Spohn + Burkhardt provides a comprehensive line of industry-leading control technology that is engineered to provide precise and reliable control in both onshore and offshore rigs, including drilling applications and cranes. Our commitment to quality and innovation has made us a trusted partner to the oil & gas industry.
Flexibility and precise
To meet the broad needs of the oil & gas industry, our complete range of control solutions can be customized to meet the exact requirements of your machine specifications and operations. Options like Ex certified and salt water resitance resistance are available to ensure performance and compliance.
Control stations
Shift work and long hours of sitting are part of an operator's daily life. Consequently, it is paramount that a operator control station offer the highest level of adjustability and comfort. Features like ergonomic backrests, fixed side support and headrests all contribute to healthy sitting positions. However, the adjustability of armrests, control consoles and suspensions must also be taking into consideration to improve the posture during crane operation and properly support the neck and back. The ergonomics and adjustability options of our control stations are a top priority and we improve them on a continuous basis.
We've continued to innovate in the crane and machinery control space by introducing new smart technology, such phone app control and memory functionality. With the memory function, each operator can save up to five positions and quickly recall them at the beginning of their shift. This bypasses the typical time-consuming manual readjustments after each shift change, allowing operators to get right to work.
Models, such as the FSMMD Ultra, boast the ability to transform the control station from a sitting to a standing position to further promote ergonomics for drilling operators.

Joysticks
Spohn + Burkhardt joysticks and switches are used industry-wide and known for their reliability and maintenance friendly designs. All models are modular in design and can be custom-configured to your specific requirements. Our vast portfolio of options consists of a large variety of multi-function handles and grips, buttons and electronic components.
Joysticks can be supplied with a variety of electronic outputs and communication types, including Analog, Digital, CAN J1939, CANopen, Profibus, Profinet, Profisafe, Modbus, Ethernet IP and more.
We also manufacture our joysticks with UV and ozone protection, and depending on the application, we make them resistant to saltwater and oil or equip them with components for use in explosion-prone atmospheres.
