Swedes put full control into the Hydradig

”The work involved in getting the DC2 and MIG2 ready for the Hydradig was painstaking and rewarding,” says Roberth Jonsson, Product Manager at Microprop, the company which makes Engcon’s control systems. Jonsson is pleased how well the collaboration with JCB went during the development phase: "Our R&D department enjoyed excellent collaboration with JCB, especially their R&D department. Both teams worked hard to bring these solutions to fruition.” jcb-hydradig Successful field tests Development work took place at Microprop in Sweden in close collaboration with development engineers from JCB, before moving on to test environments in the UK and the Nordic region with JCB dealers like West Express in Finland. Petteri Sirva, Head of Sales at Mateko Oy – JCB’s Finnish representative – is very satisfied with the Engcon/Hydradig combination: ”I recommended the DC2/MIG2 combination for Hydradig right from the start because I have confidence in Engcon’s products, safety record and their service, particularly when it comes to spare parts. Engcon remains at the top of my list of recommendations for my customers. For example, the components fit just as they should first time. It's what makes Engcon the confident choice.” jcb-hydradig-2 In common with other versions of Engcon’s DC2, the Hydradig version also allows remote support via a smartphone. When used in combination with Engcon’s MIG2 joysticks, up to six different functions can be operated proportionally at the same time. JCB Hydradig-compatible DC2 controllers and MIG2 joysticks are already available for order. Check out this promotional video from Engcon filmed on location in Finland.
