Curtiss-Wright Unveils Updates & New Offerings at INTERMAT 2024

With many of its solutions designed in partnership with leading off-highway vehicle OEMs, Curtiss-Wright Industrial Division will highlight its continued development of vehicle controllers, introduce updated sensor solutions, and promote vehicle electrification with its eMobility Solutions portfolio, at INTERMAT, taking place April 24-27, 2024, in Paris, France.

CONTROLLERS & HMI SOLUTIONS

Curtiss-Wright will be showcasing a number of components and sub-system solutions, including its CAN Actuator and new joystick controller handle.

Originally designed by Curtiss-Wright for Allison 1000/2000 transmissions, the CAN Actuator is a drive-by-wire alternative to the typical push/pull cable mechanical shifter to rotate the shift shaft on a variety of on- and off-highway vehicle transmissions, with this next generation technology developed to be easily adapted for transmissions from other OEMs.

Designed with the expanding telehandler market as a focus, the new joystick controller handle from Curtiss-Wright Industrial can be specified and fitted to the company’s JC8100 and JC6000, or as a stand-alone grip for more traditional hydraulic controlled machines. Available with 5V analog, CAN Open and CAN J1939 electrical interface options, it can be specified with up to five push-buttons and two proportional rollers on the front plate, and a combination of push-buttons, switches and rollers on the rear, with optional backlighting also available on the push-buttons.

The company will also promote its HMI capability and showcase solutions incorporating multiple functions that can be operated with the use of just one hand, or via finger or thumb activation.

SENSOR TECHNOLOGY

Curtiss-Wright is unveiling an updated VTS2021 tilt sensor at the show. The dual-axis, vibration-tolerant tilt sensor offers an optimal combination of performance, safety and cost in dynamic applications, making it ideal for pitch and roll detection for industrial-vehicle applications, including mobile elevating work platforms.

VEHICLE ELECTRIFICATION TECHNOLOGY

Curtiss-Wright will promote its eMobility Solutions portfolio of power electronics products, including its traction inverters (CWTIs) and latest generation of custom power distribution modules (PDMs).
