Handy size for novel control terminal

The new HBG 20 handheld control terminal has been developed with operators of robotic and other automated production facilities very much in mind.

The new HBG 20 handheld control terminal has been developed with operators of robotic and other automated production facilities very much in mind Small (with external dimensions of 250 x 90 x 90mm), convenient, robust, easy to operate and technically flexible, the HBG 20 can be used to set up and operate multi-axis machine tool or assembly lines

The new control terminal is fully compatible with standard CNC, robotic or PLC controls via a binary interface or, in the case of the HBG 20-DP model, via a Profibus-DP connection.

All versions are equipped with six function keys, including direction and speed controls, plus the option for three soft keys which can be assigned machine-specific functions.

Every variant also has a three-stage consent or "confirmation" key, plus an emergency off switch.

Customer-specific versions are available and additional options include a hand-wheel to initiate axial movements, an axis-selector switch for up to five axial positions and rapid motion switch which increases the process speed.

Designed for optimum temperature performance from 0 to 70C, the HBG 20 has a 3.5m connector cable and a magnetic-case fixing system for maximum convenience and usability in the workplace. Request a free brochure from NSF Controls ...
