IQAN-LC6-X05 mini-coordinate joystick
Application
The IQAN-LC6-X05 is a mini-coordinate joystick that incorporates ergonomic design with ruggedness, functionality, light weight and high flexibility for mobile market applications. The unit is designed to withstand aggressive conditions in different types of mobile equipment. The LC6 has a compact ergonomic design and small dimensions make it ideal for armrest and panel mounting.
Design and function
The IQAN-LC6-X05 is designed for outdoor use. The housing and handle have potted electronics and are rated up to IP67.
The ergonomic handle has a unique, patent pending, rotary knob function that adds a fourth proportional function integrated in the handle. The design gives the user a benefit to control all joystick proportional functions without changing their grip on the handle, and makes the LC6 ideal for repetitive, precise motion control during extended periods in mobile applications. The 4th axis default fitted ring has a small diameter, however, if needed, the operator can attach a larger sized ring to provide a different grip feeling. The handle makes it ideal for applications as rototilt and articulated steering.
All proportional output signals in joystick, rocker and knob are of contactless Hall effect type with dual sensors to provide redundancy for safety and reliability. A magnet shielding technology is used to protect the joystick from external magnetic fields.
IQAN-LC6-X05 joystick redundant signals allow error checking to make it easy for the application designer to meet high safety requirements by using IQAN software. The primary signal for each axis is 10%-90% of supply voltage. The corresponding secondary signal is 90%- 10% of supply voltage. The joystick has tough base material for long life and made using selected components and conforms to strict international requirements.
