A9 Excavator Joystick Grip
The A9 grip is SVAB’s most advanced grip and is specially developed to meet a growing need for ergonomics and the ability to control more functions via the excavator’s joystick grips.
Industrial Joystick with Great Ergonomics and Design
The A9, an industrial joystick with great ergonomics and design, draws clear inspiration from the ergonomic design of the L8 grip, aiming to replicate the popular grip surface of the L8.
Control Joystick with even More Rollers
The A9 control joystick with even more rollers now accommodates up to five rollers per grip: one controlled with the index finger, one with the middle finger, and up to three with the thumb. It’s the perfect joystick for the advanced excavator! Extensive research has ensured the optimal placement of the index and middle finger rollers for simultaneous, relaxed, and controlled operation.
Ergonomic Hand Support for the A9 Excavator Joystick
The A9 excavator joystick grips can easily be equipped with ergonomic hand support, thanks to a smooth mounting process that makes it easy to install afterwards without interfering in the cabin. The ergonomic joystick hand-rest is designed with operator ergonomics in mind, providing ergonomic solutions for various machine control applications. The hand support is adjustable in height, making it adaptable to different hand sizes, further enhancing joystick customization and joystick control. Whether you’re using the joystick in an excavator or other heavy machinery, this grip ensures optimal comfort and joystick ergonomics.
Symbols for A9 Excavator Joystick Buttons
The A9 excavator joystick buttons can now be ordered with different symbols that improve both efficiency and safety. These highly visible symbols help reduce the risk of pressing the wrong button, making the control joystick more intuitive for operators. Ideal for excavators and other heavy machinery, these symbols ensure smoother and safer operation in demanding environments.
Ergonomic HAT Switch for A9 Excavator Joysticks
The A9 excavator joystick can be configured with a newly developed ergonomic five-position HAT switch, designed to help operators navigate the excavator and external displays with ease. This control joystick feature allows operators to adjust settings in the machine directly from the grips, without having to let go, ensuring smoother operation and enhanced efficiency. The HAT switch is ideal for excavators and other heavy machinery, providing seamless control and quick access to essential functions.
Heated Handle for A9 Excavator Joystick
Say goodbye to cold hands with the optional heated handle for the A9 excavator joystick. Much like the heated steering wheel in modern cars, this feature enhances comfort during colder weather, allowing the operator to maintain full precision. The heated joystick handle improves blood circulation, reduces fatigue, and minimizes the risk of stiffness, ensuring a more efficient and productive working environment. This addition makes the joystick handle ideal for use in even the most challenging weather conditions, promoting both comfort and control for the operator.
Haptic Feedback via Vibration for A9 Joystick
The A9 joystick grip offers the advanced option of haptic feedback, designed to improve safety, precision, and overall user comfort. This feature provides operators with physical feedback through vibrations, enabling real-time alerts and enhanced control. For example, when integrated with systems like GNSS or other machine guidance technologies, haptic feedback can notify the operator if they are digging too deep or operating outside predefined limits.
This technology is not limited to excavation depth but can also be used to alert the operator to other key factors, such as machine tilt, weight distribution, or proximity to obstacles. The haptic feedback system allows operators to focus more on their surroundings, reducing the need for constant visual checks on monitors and decreasing visual fatigue. By making control more intuitive and responsive, this feature helps improve both efficiency and safety in various heavy machinery applications, particularly in demanding environments.
Short lead time from request to first order with online web configurator
The grip can be configured very freely based on component placement, color, functionality, and interface to the machine. To further help in the process of designing your grip you can use our online web configurator where you easily customize your own A9 grip configuration.
