Standard pneumatic #joysticks usually cover only two #positions. The most common functions are forward / back or left / right. With our new patented 8-way joystick, it is now possible to reach up to 8 positions in total. 🧑‍🏭


The advantages of the 8-way joystick:

🔹 Only 1 joystick is needed instead of 2 to 4 ✔️

🔹 The #reduction of travel distance saves walking time and #cycletime ✔️

🔹 Easy #positioning of the component thanks to simple operation ✔️

🔹 Diagonal #travel is now possible ✔️

🔹 A continuous #workflow is now ensured ✔️

Among other things, we use the new joystick to control the individual trolley drives in the ceiling carriage of our ZH90 lifting axis. Thanks to this invention, the lifting axis and the individual loads in the rail system (X and Y direction) can now be moved diagonally as well as lengthwise. ⌛🏎️
