New generation Olsbergs controller – light weight, ergonomic with colour display and lightning
A new generation Olsbergs controllers has been developed to meet all requirements an operator can wish for – light but durable controllers which are easy to use even when it is dark outside as they are equipped with lighting for safe operation. The controllers are designed with strong focus on reliability, ease of use and safety.
User-friendly operator interface
The controllers have an ergonomic design with a central display in full colour for system information that can easily be customized with content as desired. Side displays that show available functions distinct and clear for smooth and safe use.
The levers have a fingertip sense and are dual channelled to meet applicable safety requirements. Up to 8 functions can be operated simultaneously depending on the model.
Smart battery with operator properties
The controllers have “smart” batteries where the operators properties are saved and the same battery can be used in another CD4 controller with saved properties. Smart and easy. For more information see Battery CD4.
Menus for easy navigation between operator modes
The controllers have menus for direct navigation between different operating modes via a keypad that is ergonomically positioned to be easily accessible with the thumbs.
Haptic feedback
The controls are equipped with flashing warning lights for increased safety in dangerous workplaces. They also have a built-in vibrator as haptic feedback to draw attention to abnormal values. Should the actuator be dropped, it is automatically switched off before it hits the ground to prevent possible uncontrolled movement.
Strong focus on good and safe working environment
As an extra safety measure when operating the crane, there is a patented function where the controller senses the position in relation to the crane’s support leg. In this way, it is ensured that the support legs can only be maneuvered when you have supervision over them.
The new generation Olsbergs controllers are full of useful functions to facilitate the operator’s daily work and safety. They are powerful tools and secure good and safe working environment and caters for total control.
