Industrial Joysticks STIKO®
KIEPE Electric S.p.A. is a manufacturer of industrial joysticks under the STIKO® brand, engineered to deliver precise and reliable control in demanding applications.
Industrial joysticks are core control devices used to manage movements and functions of industrial machines. Through the position and inclination of the lever, they transmit command signals that enable smooth, accurate and proportional control of processes, equipment and motion systems.
Available configurations include:
• Single-axis joysticks with forward/backwards control
• Dual-axis joysticks for combined forward/backwards and left/right movement
