Rugged industrial buttons to trigger any action on a computer. Perfect for a CNC router, machine control on any computer-driven process, or any application where a remote pendant control makes an operator safer and more efficient.
Features
Combining the rugged build of an industrial control pendant with the utility of a computer keyboard, the new X-keys pendant series is perfect for a light industrial or home workshop CNC control. Ideal for any application where it’s best to keep the computer well away from the working area, and you just need a few buttons to start and stop an operation or make minor adjustments. This pendant uses signal level voltage; the operator will never be exposed to potentially dangerous electricity.
These pendants connect to our X-keys HD15 USB Wire Interface with a standard HD15 extension cable of any length and can send commands to any application controlled by a computer or tablet. Add foot switches or buttons to the HD15 to complete the control layout for your work station. Programming ranges from simple keystrokes or macro key combinations to full integration with our free software development kits.
