Specific Requirements and Technical Solutions

Certified HMI Systems for Cockpit Control

The interface between pilot and machine in the cockpit requires control elements that enable error-free control under high stress and physical strain. ALDERS supplies specialized VIVISUN pushbuttons and OTTO Controls control grips for this purpose. These components offer excellent tactile feedback and are available with options such as night vision compatibility (NVIS) and specific illumination colors. Compliance with the highest aviation standards ensures that every input is processed precisely, while the ergonomic design of the sidesticks and multi-directional buttons makes operation intuitive and safe.

Compliance with Military Standards and Extreme Durability

Components in aviation must often comply with specifications such as MIL-PRF-8805 to be qualified for use in defense systems or civil aircraft. ALDERS offers toggle switches and micro switches from OTTO Controls that have been developed precisely according to these military requirements. With a mechanical lifespan of up to one million switching cycles, these components guarantee operational readiness that goes far beyond conventional industry standards. This reduces the need for costly technical overhauls and ensures the long-term operational capability of the aircraft.

Precise Peripherals for Navigation and Monitoring Systems

Modern monitoring and navigation consoles require precise input devices that do not malfunction even under strong vibrations or pressure drops. ALDERS supplies trackballs and joysticks from CTI Electronics as well as thumb joysticks, which are designed for one to three-axis operation. These devices are mechanically decoupled and constructed so that they transmit precise control commands even under adverse conditions in the cockpit or ground stations. Supplemented by robust hour meters and LED indicators, we offer seamless monitoring of critical system parameters.

Customized Special Solutions and Individual Small Series

In aerospace and specialized aviation projects, standard components are often not sufficient to meet specific space or weight requirements. ALDERS acts as a competent engineering partner here and realizes individual small series through a network of premium partners. We take over the technical adaptation, the selection of highly resistant materials, and the specific cable assembly. Our EN 9120 certification ensures that every special solution undergoes the same strict quality audits as series components, which enables integration into highly complex flight and space systems without security risks.
