Ch Products Showcase New MF4 Handle That Can Be Easily Customized For Sophisticated Machines Requiring High Switch Content

At IFPE 2011, CH Products have showcased their new MF4 handle. Designed for the HFX Series IV Joystick, the MF4 handle features a large oblong faceplate, LED backlit elastomer keypad as well as high input/output CANbus J1939 interface.

The HFX Series IV joystick is a heavy-duty, Hall effect controller designed for use in high operating force, hand-operated applications. Available with several high-function handles and in single, dual or triple axis configurations, HFX Series IV joysticks are custom configured to order.

The new MF4 handle features a large oblong faceplate that can be easily customized for sophisticated machines requiring high switch content. Large enough to accommodate a near limitless combination of devices and designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, the MF4 handle is ideal for construction applications.

The MF4 is the first CH Products joystick to feature an elastomer keypad. The elastomer keypad is constructed of high quality black silicon and features 21 normally open switches, two status LEDs as well as ambient backlit blue LED illumination. The blue backlight optimizes the joystick to be operated in dimly lit conditions.
