piezoresistive joystick, followed by

the development of the inductive

and force type joysticks. For the first

time, engineers can incorporate

joysticks as cursor control devices

with unparalleled precision.

1998 Secures U.S. patent for Hall effect

technology. Optimal Hall effect design

introduces non-contact transducer

technology into a military application,

bringing reliability and precision to

critical applications.

2003 Licenses industry’s first “sense

of touch” HAPTICS technology

from Immersion Corp. Industry

leading technology dramatically

improves user’s tactile interface

with the vehicles/equipment

they operate.

2004 Receives U.S. patent for

MAGTRACK™, a “position

integrating” device for harsh

environments. Offers completely

submersible trackball for marine

and amphibious applications.

2004 Develops Hall-effect miniature

joysticks, which revolutionizes

HMI industry by providing high

performance and high reliability

at low cost. Provides users with

improved options for cursor

control in hand control systems.

>>> MSI joysticks and hand controls have become the popular choice for an unlimited

number of commercial and industrial applications. Wherever steering, power,

positioning or tracking controls are needed – from the mobile hydraulics market (agriculture,

off-highway, construction, mining and a variety of man-lift operations) to the medical

and healthcare industry (medical procedure equipment, robotic surgery, X-ray machines,

wheelchairs and surgery simulators) – MSI human interface controls are enabling systems to

perform better and to be more productive.

MSI creates reliable and precision joystick technology that translates into controls that are

lighter weight, with a smaller footprint and that are field tested in tough environments.

Our engineering designs use patented non-contacting Hall effect and/or magneto resistive

sensor technology to detect and transmit position, and offer unique “quick change”

ReConfigurable Control (RCC™) capabilities.

Long the leader in hand control systems for the military, MSI is fast becoming the supplier of

choice for commercial and industrial joystick technology.

>>> High fidelity simulation training saves time, money and lives. These vital and

sophisticated applications utilize the same form, feel and function as the tactical controls used

on the actual platform. MSI is in the forefront of the military simulation market, offering HMI

control systems for fixed and rotary wing aircraft, manned and unmanned military vehicles,

radar controls, imaging equipment and missile firing applications.

MSI designs controls that offer a level of realism that “puts you in the vehicle” and in the

operational environment, providing the performance and rugged reliability needed for a

wide variety of gunners, commanders, pilots and operators of vehicles and systems on the

ground, at sea and in the air.
