ABB Launches HS810 (3BDH000305R0101): High-Speed Industrial Joystick for Precise Crane and Machinery Control
ABB has unveiled the HS810, a rugged, high-performance industrial joystick designed for precise and reliable manual control of heavy-duty equipment. Marketed under the part number 3BDH000305R0101, this device is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of material handling, crane operation, marine deck machinery, and mobile equipment, providing operators with intuitive, responsive, and durable control in harsh industrial and offshore environments.
The HS810 joystick features a robust mechanical design with high-quality potentiometer or Hall-effect sensing technology, delivering accurate proportional control signals for speed and direction. Its ergonomic handle, customizable handle configurations, and programmable functions ensure operator comfort and efficiency during extended use. The unit is built to withstand exposure to dust, moisture, oils, and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
«Operator control interfaces must be as tough and reliable as the machines they command,» said a product manager at ABB’s Motion division. «The HS810 joystick is engineered to deliver precise control feedback and withstand years of heavy use. Its modular design and extensive customization options allow us to provide an optimal human-machine interface for a vast range of industrial control scenarios, enhancing both safety and productivity.»
Key Features and Benefits of the HS810 include:
-
Robust Industrial Construction: Housed in a heavy-duty, sealed enclosure (typically rated IP65 or higher) that protects internal components from water, dust, and impacts, ensuring long-term reliability.
-
High-Precision Sensing: Utilizes non-contact Hall-effect sensors or high-quality potentiometers to provide smooth, accurate, and repeatable proportional output signals with excellent long-term stability and minimal maintenance.
-
Ergonomic and Customizable Design: Offers various handle shapes, grip materials, and switch configurations (including pushbuttons, selector switches, and emergency stop) to match specific operator needs and application requirements.
-
Flexible Output Options: Provides standard analog voltage or current output signals (e.g., 0-10V, 4-20mA) and can be equipped with CANbus J1939 or other digital interfaces for direct integration into modern machine control networks.
-
Easy Integration and Mounting: Designed for simple panel or console mounting with comprehensive termination options, allowing for straightforward installation and connection to PLCs, variable frequency drives (VFDs), or dedicated motion controllers.
The ABB HS810 joystick (3BDH000305R0101) is available now through ABB’s global distribution network. It represents a critical control component for system integrators and OEMs building the next generation of cranes, winches, conveyors, and other equipment where precise manual control is paramount.
