New Handheld Device Provides an Immersive and Intuitive method of control
APEMs new PC Series was developed to provide a control method that is intuitive and easy to adapt to. Modeled from consumer video game controllers, the familiar design reduces the operator "learning cycle" and quickly increases efficiency and productivity.
The PC Series is molded with high-impact, glass filled nylon and features a modular design to provide OEMs the ability to configure the device as needed. Standard, off-the-shelf configurations can be specified with miniature
Hall effect joysticks, snap action pushbuttons and USB interface. Future configuration options will include wireless communications as well as haptic feedback.
The PC Series may be environmentally sealed up to IP67, making it suitable for use in the harshest of conditions.
When configured with complementary components, the PC Series is buoyant making it an ideal choice for marine watercraft applications.
As standard, the PC Series provides USB 1.1 interface and integrates seamlessly with software applications supporting USB joystick or mouse inputs via Microsoft DirectX. No device driver or manufacture specific SDK is required, the PC Series is recognized as either a HID compliant "game controller" joystick or as a standard mouse or cursor control device.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
