FIFTEEN FUNCTIONS
23 October 2012
Designer and manufacturer of joystick controllers, solenoids and high precision sensing technology, Penny + Giles, has introduced a new multifunctional handle/grip for its JC8000, JC6000 and JC1500 ranges of rugged joystick controllers.

The new HE multifunctional handle/grip, which is also available to users and OEMs wishing to fit the handle/grip to mechanical levers, can incorporate as many as fifteen functions, including three analogue thumbwheel controllers in the front face and a person-present switch to the main grip. It is available with a choice of three different switch types as standard and six different switch button colours. All switches are environmentally-sealed to IP66 and the handle’s flow-in/flow-out design ensures there are no negative effects from water ingress.
The HE handle/grip has been ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in either hand and its main body is moulded as a single component to improve strength.
