Our Hanger Clip Assembly has been around for a while now, but we're finding many people are still not aware of it. We mount a metal button on the nose of our L, M, S, O or P series grips (or on a custom control box) and use a mounting clip (similar to a "CB" radio microphone clip) to hang the grip in a convenient place, like a vehicle dash. This means that a pendant style grip can be mounted right where the operator needs it to be. We even include a wedge to adjust the clip/grip assembly to a comfortable angle.

Our new MOP switch is a lever style switch that can be installed below the trigger on our L, M and S series to act as an operator presence device. The lever operates one of our standard SW-00 switches, and can be wired to provide switched power to the entire grip or to provide a separate output signal to indicate the presence or absence of an operator. This MOP switch leaves the operator's index finger free to operator the trigger functions normally.

Our new EOP switch is an electronic module that installs inside the post of our L or S series grips and acts as an operator presence device. A cutaway view showing the sensor assembly is shown to the right. The sensor controls an electronic switch that has a 3 Amp drive capactiy. The operator just grabs the handle and the switch output is energized. The unit has a small amount of delay built in so the unit will not de-energize if the operator swifts his hand position for a fraction of a second. The EOP switch will work with either bare or gloved hands.

We offer a variety of service kits that allow quick field replacement of common parts on our handles. These low cost kits have the parts and tools to replace a switch or leaf spring, and we even include the fasteners you are going to drop in the process! With the cost of down time being what it is, you should have a service kit in every machine. We would be please to customize a kit to your exact requirements. Order KT-00 for our L and S series handles and KT-01 for our M series handles.
