Description
Penny & Giles JC3000 finger operated joystick controller is designed for applications requiring a simplistic approach to fingertip control, where strength and reliability are important.
MAIN FEATURES of the JC3000 Finger operated joystick:
- Single or dual-axis operation
- Rugged design using cast components
- Protected to IP66 above the flange
- Range of fingertip handle styles
- Superb proportional control with analogue and centre/directional switched outputs
- Choice of track resistance values and output ranges
- Switched output option with detent feel – up to five positions in each half axis
- Long operational life
The joystick can be specified as a dual axis or single axis controller, and comes with a range of user-defined features that provide unique functionality for numerous applications.
The JC3000 can be specified to generate up to 5 switched outputs per half axis, or analogue potentiometer and switched centre/directional reference signals. Optional mechanical detents that coincide with the switched output points can also be specified, providing operator feedback to the angular position of the joystick lever.
The joystick lever can accommodate a choice of different handle types, but no additional switch functions are available in the handles. The finger operated joystick is intended to be mounted in a protected environment, on applications such as a vehicle cab, control room or remote-control chest packs, and has IP66 protection above the mounting flange.
The Penny & Giles product range comprises a broad selection of joysticks, sensors and solenoids for use on commercial vehicles and industrial equipment.
The products are the legacy of the Penny & Giles company founded in 1956 and acquired by Curtiss Wright in 2002.
The present-day product range includes: linear and rotary position sensors; LVDT and RVDT transducers; joysticks; studio faders; digital panel meters; and solenoid actuators for a wide range of industrial motion control applications.
Their joystick controls are suitable for commercial vehicle applications for both on- and off-highway use. These include construction and agricultural vehicles, material handling and other specialty vehicles. They are also suitable for use with industrial equipment such as robotics. Their finger-operated joystick controllers are designed for the smooth, precise control of critical functions in a variety of industrial applications where a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) is required. They also have rugged joystick controllers are designed for the more demanding installations found within operator cabs for off-highway vehicles. A wide range of linear position sensors, tilt sensors, rotary sensors, linear displacement transducers and linear potentiometers that offer distinct advantages in reliability, stability and compactness.
