<\/p>\nRototilt has launched a number of new products for excavators within its Rototilt Control concept, including the company\u2019s first joysticks. Rototilt has now won both the Red Dot Award and the iF Design Award 2023 for the RC Joysticks. \u201cUser experience was our top priority when we launched the project to develop our own joysticks. These awards are further proof that we are on the right track,\u201d says Caroline Jonsson, Product Manager.<\/p>\n
Rototilt Group AB manufactures tiltrotators, machine couplers, work tools and other accessories for the construction industry. During the autumn of 2022, the company launched its Rototilt Control product concept, including new joysticks for excavators. Rototilt has now won two prestigious international design awards for its joysticks \u2013 the Red Dot Award 2023 and the iF Design Award 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are incredibly proud and grateful to have been awarded these distinctions,\u201d says Caroline Jonsson, Product Manager. \u201cOur primary aim is to be well received by our users, of course, but this is further evidence that we are an innovative company.\u201d<\/p>\n
Through field testing carried out with both male and female machine operators, Rototilt\u2019s objective has been to design a handle that offers the very best ergonomics, regardless of the operator\u2019s gender or hand size. The materials and design have been carefully selected to deliver a high level of comfort and style, considers Caroline.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis has involved a well-thought-out design process, where the aim has been to create a well-functioning product that improves the working environment for the user,\u201d says Caroline. \u201cWorking in collaboration with product designers, we made use of methods such as 3D printing and modelling. Everything from button placement to surface quality and the choice of materials was scrutinised down to the smallest detail.\u201d<\/p>\n
The technology behind RC Joysticks prioritises safety and scalability. Both the hardware and the software design comply with the ISO 13849 safety standard. The joysticks are also prepared for future work tools and applications.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have incorporated the potential to make adaptations in terms of the placement and function of buttons and rollers for controlling the tiltrotator and the machine,\u201d says engineer Mikael H\u00e4ggstr\u00f6m. \u201cWork tools and areas of use are constantly evolving, and we want RC Joysticks to be technically prepared for future applications.\u201d<\/p>\n
