Additional voltage outputs gives OEMs more choice
Penny
+ Giles has extended its range of JC2000 joystick options
with the launch of new output voltage ranges. Operating from
a 5Vdc regulated supply, the JC2000X and JC2000XY versions
can now be supplied with 0.5 to 4.5Vdc; 1.0 to 4.0Vdc and
1.1 to 3.9Vdc output voltage spans. These additional ranges
give OEMs greater flexibility when interfacing with machine
controls, as well as increased sensitivity on the wider voltage
ranges.
Using non-contact Hall-effect technology, JC2000 is a reliable,
compact joystick controller used for precision fingertip control
applications such as wheelchairs, robotic teach controllers,
co-ordinate measuring machines, medical and CCTV equipment,
professional cameras and radio/infrared chest packs used in
the construction and materials handling industries.
Designed for smooth and accurate control, where safety and
long life are primary requirements, the joysticks are exceptionally
compact with a below mounting flange depth of only 31mm -
less than half the depth of comparable potentiometer joystick
designs.
The competitively priced JC2000 also features an impressive
environmental specification that includes sealing to IP65
above the panel, operating temperature of -25ºC to +70ºC,
a shock level of 40g and EMC immunity of 60V/m.
For critical applications the single and dual-axis versions
are available with two independent outputs in each axis that
can be monitored and compared for failure detection in safety
critical systems.
JC2000 is offered with a choice of three ergonomic handles
and switch options. Penny + Giles offers an extensive range
of joysticks as standard and can tailor the product to meet
the customers exact requirements.
All joysticks are manufactured at Penny + Giles’ ISO
9001 accredited manufacturing facility. For more information
