"Ask any video gamer", says Keith Mills, Xspect Solutions president, "They know the importance of pendant ergonomics and that's why the gaming industry consistently improves pendant functionality and ergonomics. Now we have too!"
The Wenzel HT400RC represents true state-of-the-art pendant technology that was ergonomically researched to include the kinds of practical features that are typically not found on traditional CMM pendants.
The HT400 pendant has a hand strap, belt clip and magnetic holder to provide options for the user to help eliminate the risk of accidental pendant damage from dropping it or knocking it off the CMM table. The unit has an ergonomically-designed single joystick that enhances CMM productivity. Its weight and balance is ideally matched for its application.
