NORWAY
The Kongsberg KC 06-K is a joystick controller designed for use within Kongsberg Maritime’s marine control and dynamic positioning systems. As a primary operator input device, it translates manual commands into precise directional and thrust signals, enabling accurate vessel manoeuvring, station-keeping, and position control. Installed at the helm console or DP operator station, this component is central to the safe and efficient operation of vessels relying on Kongsberg automation and control infrastructure.
Key Features
✓ Functions as a manual input joystick controller, converting operator movement into directional control signals for thruster and propulsion management onboard.
✓ Specific electrical ratings and dimensional specifications are subject to confirmation based on system configuration — consult technical documentation for exact parameters.
✓ Designed for integration within Kongsberg Maritime control systems; compatibility with specific panels, DP consoles, or autopilot configurations should be verified against the vessel’s installed system.
✓ Typical installation is at an enclosed bridge or control station console; mounting environment and interfacing requirements depend on the vessel’s existing Kongsberg control architecture.
✓ Replacement of joystick controllers is a critical maintenance task — sourcing the correct part number (304849) ensures proper fit and function within the control loop without requiring system reconfiguration.
Marine Applications
✓ Dynamic positioning (DP) vessels requiring precise manual override or joystick manoeuvring at the operator console.
✓ Offshore support vessels, platform supply vessels (PSVs), and anchor handling tugs relying on Kongsberg DP and control systems.
✓ Drillships and semi-submersible rigs where station-keeping accuracy depends on responsive joystick input devices.
✓ Cable-lay and pipe-lay vessels utilising Kongsberg integrated control systems for low-speed precision manoeuvring.
✓ Ferry and ro-ro vessel bridge control stations where joystick manoeuvring systems are integrated into the Kongsberg automation platform.
