Hi

Ok, first of all I'm not looking for an ordinary joystick i.e. Saitek or Logitech or similar. I need an industrial joystick, the same type used to program ABB robots and to control devices.

I'm going to use it in a project (which is a secret right now..), and it must have atleast 3 axes [X,Y,Z], IP65 (at the panel). I'm looking for either Sakae , CH or EAO (if there are any other brands let me know).

Anyone know any sites where I can order a joystick that has the above?

Thankful for any replies given.

CH is the obvious choice for industrial grade products

http://www.chproducts.com/

As for ordering its all about where you are.I can find the best prices depending where you are thru the IL-2 Community.

Ok, I took a look at the CH Products "HFX Series II" joysticks. They seem to be exactly what I'm looking for. I live in Sweden btw.

go to an industrial supply place and see if they carry them

I did try at Elfa Radio ( http://www.elfa.se/en/ ). But I didn't find the latest ones, that looks like a flight stick. I need one of them.
However they said they could order for me, but since I do not have a company any more this would be difficult. I think it's because they don't make any profit in ordering only 1 of them and have to sell with the tax (25%)..

I'm trying to ask a friend if he can order for me, he has a company so for him it would be easy.

Hi there,

My company resells the CH product joystick you speak of. The part number I stock it under is JHE-KC2-USB (3 axis, 2 switches) with the USB interface at $$263.98 each in US Dollars. Of course, shipping will cost extra.

I have the spec sheets on it as well.
