The only difference between the systems is the "plug & play" Input Device(s) that you will use. Each of the systems or "Series" listed on this page will contain these standard components listed here. EMC offers optional Mounting Systems for the AEVIT® components. Check with your dealer for available options. Standard Components are listed below: Drive Module Vehicle Interface Module Information Center LCD Steering Servo Associated Wiring ! S-Series The "NEW" S-Series is a Steering only system that utilizes a 10" diameter yoke input device. The steering wheel rotates 180 degrees in either direction and returns to center via an adjustable forced feedback mechanism that allows for custom tailoring to the drivers needs. Special "Hybrid" software has been developed within AEVIT® to deliver the most realistic feeling to the OEM steering control yet! These hybrid settings (sensitivity) are selectable on screen via the AEVIT® Information Center, and allow you to create the "feel" of the steering best suited to your driving style or needs! The molded steering yoke can be fitted with switches to access EMC secondary controls such as horn, dimmer, wipers, and cruise control, or can be used to access voice commands with VIC®. The yoke also contains 3-slots that allow the fitting of EMC steering orthotic devices such as spinner knobs, cuff adapters, and tri-pins. W-Series The W-Series is a Steering only system that utilizes a miniature 6" diameter wheel input device. The total number of rotations from full left steer to full right steer is 6-3/4 turns. This equates to an approximate 2:1 ratio between the W-Series input device and the OEM steering system. The force input required to turn the wheel is 0.2 lbs. as measured at the proper orthotic position of 3-3/8" from center. The W-Series control input enclosure measures 7.0” x 4.5” x 2.5” and weighs only 4.7 lbs. Just below the wheel, a spring tensioned friction sleeve is used to provide a smooth feel to the driver and prevent motion of the wheel due to inertia without an input from the driver. A durable worm gear drive, which consists of a rotating threaded shaft and a toothed wheel mounted on a perpendicular shaft that mesh together, is supported by two, 3/8" bearings underneath the wheel and one 3/16" bearing on the bottom of the worm shaft. These bearings are manufactured to ABEC 3 specifications which outlines tolerances for size and geometric accuracy. All electronics are completely isolated from the forces applied to the wheel. A unique clutching device is incorporated so that the straight ahead position of the chosen orthotic can be adjusted to any location on the wheel. XJ-Series The X-Series is a Steering only system that utilizes a single axis joystick input device. The exposed height of the joystick is approximately 4.25”" and an angular displacement, or range, of only 50 degrees is required to move the input from the full left steer position to full right. The mechanism is extremely low-effort, requiring a maximum input force of only 0.2 lbs, and is internally spring-loaded to return to the center, or null, position. The joystick is coupled to a 3-channel potentiometer that provides three discrete input position signals to the single drive module of the system. The X-Series input device can be positioned for either left hand or right hand operation. The input control enclosure measures 7.0” x 4.5” x 2.5” and weighs only 3.0 lbs. The software within the system provides four (4) unique control algorithms developed by EMC specifically for joystick steering. These allow "on-screen" programming in the Information Center by the dealer and evaluator to maximize the clients input strength and range of motion. In addition to the control algorithms, the AEVIT® joystick steering systems also incorporates software to reduce the speed of the output servomotor as the speed of the vehicle increases. This feature is designed to reduce over-steering scenarios at high speeds.   Regresar a EMC Products   Somos "dealer" autorizado de las siguientes compañías: (Presione sobre el logo de la compañía para ver los productos que ofrecemos de cada una de ellas.)   Bruno Independent Living   Drive Master   EZ Lock   EMC Electronic Mobility The Braun Corporation   Q'STraint     VMI Vantage Mobility
