Enhancing Your Industrial Workflow with Custom Electrical Foot Switches

In today’s factories and industrial workplaces, efficiency is the name of the game. Machines themselves are carefully engineered to be as efficient and effective as possible. Seemingly everywhere, production technology increasingly integrates state-of-the-art automation and other enhancements to the modern workflow. So shouldn’t the machine controls themselves be engineered to the same uncompromising standards? After all, a machine is only as good as the operator and the controls that run it.

Enter SSC Controls – the industry leader in manufacturing industrial foot switches. Designed and built in the USA, our electrical foot switches can help streamline your factory workflow, taking both efficiency and productivity to the next level.

Helping Your Employees Be More Productive

Essentially, our foot switches streamline the everyday workflow by allowing machine operators to more quickly and conveniently interact with their equipment. Less time fiddling with conventional hand controls means more time put into finishing the real work at hand.

Our foot controls can provide more precise or intuitive control of the machine’s complex functions. When employees have an easier time working with machines, their productivity naturally improves and the overall workflow runs smoother.

Improving Worker Comfort and Concentration Through Ergonomics

Our foot switches are carefully designed with ergonomics in mind to further facilitate ease of use. Plus, it’s simply more natural and comfortable to use your feet for certain machine operations while freeing up your hands for more complex tasks.

Ergonomically enhancing the workflow typically translates to higher care and concentration from your machine operators, especially over extended shifts. Your workers will be able to comfortably vary the speed, frequency, or on/off settings with the simple motion of the foot, keeping them more concentrated on handling the workpiece as well as the equipment’s necessary hand controls.

Custom Foot Controls Optimized for Your Unique Workflow

Unlike conventional hand controls and off-the-shelf options, SSC’s foot switches are highly customizable to make them more effective for the specific job at hand. We offer a full range of pedal options, such as light, medium, and heavy-duty foot switches, single and dual foot pedals, safety guarded switches, and more. We also manufacture specialized options including our TIG welding foot pedals and our variable-speed potentiometer controls. We can provide a specific solution for virtually every unique factory workflow.
