Joyce/Dayton Introduces New Variable Speed Positioning System

(GRIMSBY, ON May 1, 2007) Joyce® has expanded their control offerings to now include a programmable controller. The new Variable Speed Positioning System (VSPS) allows the operator to easily program up to ten stopping locations, increasing the capabilities of motorized jacks.

The VSPS includes a 2 Line HMI display with tactile feel push buttons used to control all aspects of the system operation and programming. The display read-out indicates the current position and preset stopping location.

An enclosure mounted speed control dial allows real time speed control of the motorized jacks. The enclosure door also features an e-Stop push button and power-on indicator to allow easy confirmation of the system’s power status.

A control pendant 4-pin connector is standard with all VSPS boxes. Joyce® also offers a two button pendant to allow the operator to control the system away from the control box.

The VSPS is designed to operate motors between 1/3 and 3 horsepower, and between 200 and 460 volt three phase power.
