The F3-28Ex intrinsically safe manipulator is intended for smooth (analog) control operation of the machines. It’s successfully applied for all machines where the smooth control of hydraulic systems or inverter drives is crucial (e.g. for roadheaders, suspended monorail systems, bolting machines, excavators, etc.).
Through the RS-485 interface the joystick transmits information on shifting angle and directions as well as on status of buttons and touch sensors integrated on the joystick handle.
The joystick module provides „ia” explosion protection level. It is intended for operation in harsh environmental conditions.
