Customer Name: Falcon Shuttle Wagon
Job Requirements The customer was remotely controlling a shuttle wagon rail car with an inferior brand of radio controls. After experiencing many issues, and safety concerns, the customer came to us for a new system.
Job Description Custom Controls provided an electrical and pneumatic interface into the shuttle wagon’s existing electrical and pneumatic circuits, including proportional air valves as well as radio remote control.
The system required a high level of operator safety, extended range, along with a smooth and accurate proportional control. Also required were roll shock, zero G, and an operator presence system to ensure constant monitoring of the radio controls.
The Result Falcon was able to install the system for half the cost of the original, and taking up only a tenth of the space. Our system also met and exceeded the requirements for range, and more importantly operator safety.
