Uncompromising Safety at the Core
Our system prioritises your safety with advanced features designed to prevent accidents and enhance operator well-being. At its core is the “sensor deadman” joystick, a critical component that ensures the operator is always actively engaged. This is complemented by our innovative traffic light fail-safe system, providing an additional layer of security during every operation.
We developed our unique “stay-put” sensor system in response to feedback from operators concerned about repetitive strain injuries (RSI). This fail-safe system allows operators to manipulate the joystick and manage multiple controls while ensuring they maintain regular contact. If the system detects a lack of contact with the joystick after a short period, an amber warning light illuminates and an alarm sounds. If contact isn’t re-established, power will be cut, indicated by a red warning light. To regain power, the operator must return the joystick to a central position to reset and restart from a safe state. This reliable fail-safe system has been successfully used in steelworks for over 20 years.
The SV1C isn’t just about control; it’s about uncompromising reliability and operator well-being in the heart of the steel industry.
