Product advantages

System design & flexibility



Due to the compact, modular structure and functional design, the control handle is flexible and configurable for almost any application



Variants for two-hand operation



Optional: Presence detection for operator hand with gloves possible



Comprehensive selection of additional accessories (remote actuations, protection for operator hand, cables, and much more)

Performance & ergonomics



High variability in positioning thanks to mounting with ball, alternatively also possible without ball or with flange connection possible



Up to 4 buttons can be individually assigned



Cable or pneumatic connection pluggable directly on the handle housing



IO-Link-capable control handles available



LED status indicators arranged all around: green, yellow and red (e-handle)

Process integration & operational safety



Fatigue-free operation due to ergonomic handle design



Thumb-operated rotary switch for e.g. direction of rotation preselection (e-handle)
