Collection: DCG Control Series for LC2000 & LC3000
- Small and lightweight control operated via a control pendant (ordered separately)
- Available for LC2000 & LC3000
- Built-in electronic limit switches (ELS) stop the lifting column automatically at end of stroke or mid-stroke stall
- No wiring is necessary to the control as all connections are done through plugs

* Control will shut off if duty cycle is exceeded and automatically reset when cooled off.
** DCG-280 monitors the encoder pulses and not the motor currents. If the pulses arrives too slowly or not at all it will stop the motion of both lifting columns.

Synchronous operation of two lifting columns equipped with encoders
How are multiple lifting columns synchronized with a single control unit? In this video, Thomson explains how easy it is to synchronize the lifting columns using encoders, even with a load that is shifted to one side.
Lifting Columns: perfect for medical and ergonomic applications
Kyle Thompson, Thomson Product Manager for Lifting Columns, demonstrates various medical and ergonomic applications for Thomson lifting columns and details the many features and benefits of this column technology.
