Position Hold

With HBC's new Position Hold input element, pre-setting target values or speed settings can now be implemented even more intuitively.

• When operating machines, it is often necessary to specify and maintain precise target values over a long period of time.
• For example, drilling speeds and feed rates are often preselected for large drilling equipment. The values then typically remain unchanged over extended periods as the drilling process is completed.
• With such requirements, operation via a conventional joystick can quickly become tiring for the operator.
• This can lead to incorrect operation, especially during longer periods of use.
• Alternatively, when using a feature with a hold function, there is no visual feedback to indicate the preselected speed.
• Position Hold is the optimal solution for these and other applications.

How it works:

• Position Hold is a new HBC operating element based on our proven linear levers.
• Unlike the standard version, the linear lever remains in the selected position.
• A large deflection range of 30° allows precise selection.
• The operator always has visual feedback to indicate where the operating element has been set.
• An integrated damping element ensures smooth and comfortable operation and keeps the lever after the release in the selected position.
• A center detent haptically indicates the zero position.

Examples of use:

• Intuitive speed or direction pre-selections can be enabled for rail or ship applications.
• In the field of drilling technology, the Position Hold function can be used for the precise setting and adjustment of critical feed rates and speeds.
