Streamline Machine Operation

Aug. 28, 2018

The HMR CAN Rotary offers a modern, ergonomic design that increases engineering flexibility and operator safety.

 

Danfoss Power Solutions has introduced its first CAN rotary device, the HMR CAN Rotary, as part of its PLUS+1 family of mobile machine management products.

 

Optimized for operator comfort, the HMR CAN Rotary offers ergonomic, five-finger control with seven large push-buttons and one central “select” button. This allows for “blind operation,” keeping operators’ eyes on the road.

 

Plus, the device is engineered to withstand the rugged demands of off-highway applications. It features robust mechanical, electrical and Ingress Protection specifications — meeting IP66 and IP67 ratings — and is suitable for installation in open and enclosed cabs. The buttons and rotary are designed to hold up for more than 1 million cycles.

 

With the HMR CAN Rotary, operators will no longer need to reach the display for full functionality. This gives OEMs greater overall design flexibility. Displays can now be placed wherever it makes the most design sense, rather than based on where the operator can reach it, potentially improving the line of sight.

 

OEMs can easily tailor the HMR CAN Rotary to coordinate with their existing machine’s branding and design. The indicator lights, button backlights and rotary backlight are all equipped with RGB LED lights, allowing for countless color options with adjustable light intensity and frequency. Each button graphic can be customized to best fit application needs.

 

The HMR CAN Rotary has a small footprint, making it ideal for machines like road rollers, compact wheel loaders, concrete pavers, telehandlers and more.
