First-class joysticks for all sectors
Industrial joysticks from Spohn + Burkhardt are truly jacks of all trades.
You can perform a multitude of functions with the joysticks; this is why a unique product is ultimately created out of every standard version. As a manufacturer, we take into account the conditions of your industrial branch and produce everything from the individual unit to the series according to your requirements.
Our joysticks are used in all sectors today.
For example, our joysticks are used in crane applications, in construction machines, in agricultural machines, in shipping applications, in materials handling, drive and transport technology, and plant engineering. They are highly functional and can be equipped with suitable accessories.
In the process, you must be able to rely on the durable, safe and reliable operation of the precision joysticks. And, of course, they have a long service life. And that is precisely what we implement each day.
Experience over several decades has taught us something: a joystick is not just a joystick. Therefore, the discussion with our customers is absolutely necessary. In order to manufacture a reliable joystick, we must know how and where it will be used: What special details must be taken into account? Which are the prevailing conditions in the work environment?
Our broad assortment of joysticks, handles, buttons, and electrical components offers many combination possibilities. Consequently, we can also realize special and even complex customer requirements quickly and without complication.
