Motion Control – Joysticks

Van Nuys, CA – — OES (Optimal Engineering Systems, Inc.) has expanded its line of Joysticks for 1, 2 and 3 axis Stages and Actuators. These are easy to use, single-handed, ergonomic joysticks that provide proportional control of the X, Y, and Z axis of from one to three actuators. Low, medium, and high speed ranges are button selectable. The X, Y, and Z axis speeds are controlled by the tilt angle of the handle and the angle of rotation of the knob.

The maximum speeds may be set by the user via the supplied, easy to use GUI.
