Products for demanding environments
Challenging environments put enormous demands on products' reliability and durability—yet they must be simple and easy to use. Top quality and Scandinavian design characterize Åkerströms' products, which effortlessly fulfil safety and modern ergonomic requirements.
With its product portfolio, Åkerströms makes it easy for customers to get exactly the right remote-control solution. How? By grouping transmitters and receivers into clearly specified product areas and by developing product lines such as Jupiter and Mercury that have the same high quality and durability but are used for different applications.
All Åkerströms' products have one thing in common - ruggedness. The products are developed to tolerate extremely tough industrial environments with drastic temperature differences, dust, vibrations, oil, and dampness - environments that demand top safety, security, and reliability. The products comply with EN954-1, safety category 4. And enormous emphasis was put on ergonomic design of the transmitters - to facilitate ease of use.
