TER has acquired decades of experience in designing and manufacturing joysticks and joystick stations, providing now two series of joysticks and two series of joystick stations, for auxiliary control, used to command and control industrial machinery. joysticks and joystick stations are used in particular in industrial and construction lifting plants to control gantry cranes, track cranes, jib cranes, wall-mounted jib cranes, tower cranes and winches for construction sites; in the automation industry to command and control systems to manage machines and processes, thus reducing the need for human intervention; in stage technology to control the equipment used to move stage sets, curtains etc.
TER range includes two series of joysticks and two series of joystick stations used to control any kind of industrial machinery. They operate as auxiliary controllers of electrical motors through a power interface, such as a contactor. Designed for heavy duty use by qualified operators, they are aimed specifically for the industrial market.
Size and shape, resulting from a thorough analysis of the ergonomic features of the product, combined with the research of a graphic style suitable for a modern industrial environment, make TER joysticks and joystick stations easy to operate. The equipment has been designed to facilitate maintenance, thus saving on time and costs.
Materials, technical solutions and size and shape of critical components ensure mechanical strength and life, and special attention is paid to design, ergonomics, sensitivity and accuracy of operation.
TER’s aim is to simplify the control of the machines equipped with its devices, designing reliable, ergonomic and intuitive safety products, capable of predicting the demands of the market and becoming the industry benchmark.
At the basis of this company mission is the will to establish a connection between market and company, by giving an increasingly central role to the sales department, seen as a continuous relationship between TER and its customers.
