MOBA developed a joystick for the MCP control panel with three axes instead of the commonly two axes. So the x- and y-axis just adds a z-axis.

The advantage is that the third function can be blocked by mounting a so-called locking plate. The customer can choose if the function is turned off or not. The benefit is that only one product instead of two needs to be stocked.

Customer needs z-axis touch function = locking plate can be removed

To ensure the accuracy and stability of the joystick during the operation, the axis of the joystick is performed by a slotted ink. This slotted ink prevents the additional operation of the x- and y-axis during the touch process.

The button of the joystick module can be activated with any functions such as the switching of different functions, the activating of any functions or even the release of the machine.
