JOYSCAPE - Joystick Platform Technology by RAFI

Customer-Specific RAFI Joysticks Created from the JOYSCAPE Platform

The JOYSCAPE platform offers the optimum solution for every application. Based on different platforms and a modular system, customers can adapt their desired joystick individually to the appropriate application.

Currently, our platforms comprise two basic sizes with different configuration options. Four restrictors are available; JOYSCAPE can also be equipped with different pushbutton series and the design of the handle can be freely selected. As RAFI has its own injection molding system available, the company is in a position to implement all customer wishes regarding form, function and material, quickly and flexibly.

The platform technology has high mechanical strength and a long operating life. For motion tracking, the devices use contactless (and therefore zero-wear) Hall sensors, ensuring a working life of at least five million operating cycles. RAFI can also design a redundant sensor system for high safety requirements. The metal housing made of ferromagnetic steel ensures optimum shielding of the sensor system and provides additional robustness.

All joysticks have options for CAN/CANopen, analog or USB interfaces.

JOYSCAPE Finger Joystick

Customer-Specific Version of the RAFI JOYSCAPE Joystick

The Finger Joystick offers the more compact design of the two available platforms, for use wherever there is little mounting space available. This control with free throw function in the XY plane is suitable for use with applications which require “a fine touch.”

General Purpose Joystick

The distinguishing features of the General Purpose Joystick, on the other hand, are its particular versatility and flexibility. The joystick can be equipped with a multi-function handle and is suitable for use in commercial vehicles, construction and haulage machinery, and in medical technology.

Options for rotary functions, including rotary encoder, push functions, buttons, LEDs, thumb joysticks or momentary rocker switches can be integrated into the handle. The mechanical strength value in the X and Y axes is at least 250 N for a handle length of 100 mm and at least 400 N for the Z axis.
