Beluga User Guide (.pdf)

NEE Controls Ltd now offer a range of AMC Manual Handpads, each one designed to provide the operator with the level of remote control needed for his particular application.

The Beluga Manual Handpad has been produced to allow fine positioning of an axis to be achieved remotely from the controller. Thus allowing the operator to get close to the tool and still have fine positional control.

The handpad takes its power supply from the controller with a power LED indicating whether the device is active.  View the handpad specification document.

Handpad accessories

The Beluga is encased in a standard toughened plastic enclosure. For a small additional cost we can supply a hook set with optional magnet to allow ease of locating and storing the handpad. The magnet is very strong and easily supports the weight of the unit and attached cabling.

The hook is of strong plastic design for hanging from a cross bar or loop of up to 18mm in diameter. The magnet/hook combination is securely attached with three screws to the back of the handpad and hinges neatly away into the unit maintaining the ease of handling and good tactile feel of the handpad.
