Multi-Axis Joysticks
A comprehensive line of multi-axis joysticks designed and proven to meet the most demanding applications.
From cranes of all types and construction equipment to agricultural machinery, material handling systems and shipping vessels, our precision joysticks deliver exceptional functionality and reliability.
Uncompromising versatility and reliability
We believe that every joystick should be tailored to its intended application. That's why we engage in thorough discussions with our customers to understand their precise requirements. Our in-depth knowledge allows us to design and manufacture joysticks that seamlessly integrate with your equipment and operations.
Our broad assortment of industrial joysticks, multi-function handles, buttons, switches and electrical components offers countless combination possibilities. To integrate with legacy and modern-day machinery, we offer electrical outputs in the following types and devices: CANBus, CANOpen, J1939, ProfiBus, ProfiNet, ProfiSafe, Modbus, Ethernet IP, hall effect, potentiometer, contacts, encoders, 4-20mA and more.
Experience over several decades has taught us something: a joystick is not just a joystick. Therefore, the discussion with our customers is absolutely necessary. In order to manufacture a reliable joystick, we must know how and where it will be used: What special details must be taken into account? Which are the prevailing conditions in the work environment?
Customers have embraced our joystick product line due to their durable, safe and reliable operation. Our continued commitment to quality and exceptional product design has set the bar in many applications, crowning our solutions as the industry standard.
