Linear actuator movement might be the simplest
movement in the world. And yet, perfecting something
simple is one of the hardest challenges.
Since LINAK® founder Bent Jensen came up with theidea for the first electric actuator in order to help afriend in a wheelchair, every engineer and specialist
employed by LINAK has aimed to solve real-life
challenges for real people.

Whether we engage inproduct development, operation or implementation oftechnology, we always look for ways to make it easierfor our customers to enter into in collaborations andpartnerships with us and to ultimately improve the lives

Go offline – leave smartphones,
not features, out of the bedroom
Being offline and present in the moment is no problem
with a hand control like HC40 Advanced. The user
can leave the smartphone out of the bedroom, butstill check the time, set an audible alarm or use themassage function as a silent alarm.
HC40 Advanced has a colour display and also a built-in
flashlight, which is easily activated by shaking the handcontrol twice.

When design and functionality
equals comfort
A new generation of hand controls for adjustable comfort beds

When it comes to comfortable furniture, ergonomic
designs and pressure-relieving materials are no longer
enough.

We therefore took a new approach to R&D, and by thehelp of clear-cut data and top designers we now have awhole new family of hand controls for comfort beds.

Customers want multi-functional adjustment,smooth and low-noise movement, and exquisite design̶ all in one.

We are proud to present ...

Shape and ergonomics

The markers ensure that all users,
including visually impaired users,
can easily locate and identify thecorrect buttons and activate theright commands.

We have thought of this anddesigned HC40 with referencelines on the back.

The buttons in the middle sectionof the HC40 have tactile markers
for easy identification.

the hand control.

Look and feel

When we asked users in oursurvey what they considered to
be good design, one of the firstthings they mentioned was “mattsurfaces”, and “weight” was also
important.
We have put efforts intodeveloping HC40 to be perfectly
balanced and hope you will enjoy
it just as much, as we do.

We know what theend users want̶ because we asked them
For decades, it has been all about the actuators moving
the bed sections. And though engineering is still
essential, design, usability and comfort have come toplay a still larger part of functional interior décor – forboth bed manufacturers and end users.
We have therefore asked the users what they expectfrom a modern comfort bed. Only with their input, wecan add value to the overall experience.
The amount of data and the findings took us by
surprise; we were thrilled that so many people wanted
to participate.

The survey
Around 500 end users from a demographically broad
segment were asked a number of questions about
comfort and expectations for a comfort bed. It became
one of the most comprehensive surveys ever conductedby LINAK.
We tried to uncover what exactly the modern user
expects of their hand controls.
Through the invaluable responses from users, we
had a clear direction from the outset. The collected
data crystallised into a compact short-list of things toconsider in the development.

Many of their requests have been taken into
consideration when designing the HC40.

9Customisation – make yourcustomer feel uniqueInterior – more than meets the eye
Our HC40 TWIST™ Advanced represents a new era
within not only hand controls but also options forcustomisation. It is no longer just about the immediate
brand visibility of an exterior layer ̶ the software needs
to reflect your needs as well.

The first thing that meets the eye when picking up thehand control is a logo in the display. Make it your logo.
With a colour display, we can replicate your logos inbright colours. So, when the hand control is turned on,
your logo will greet the user.

Greet and guide your customers
Imagine waking up and being greeted with a “Good morning, Justin!” or a
“Have a nice day, Julie!” in the display of your hand control. These standard
texts followed by a name can be changed to e.g. a catchphrase in yourslogan. Yet another chance to gain brand visibility in the hands of the user!
We all like when companies do something special for us, and this is also
true for the bed market. Only this time it is not about a mattress, but about
adjustability and the hand control making it all possible.
The element of surprise is priceless in a sales situation. Imagine picking
up a hand control, and your name pops up on the display! This type of
personalisation shows that the salesperson has paid attention to details
and made an effort to make the customer feel welcome. What is more, we
made factory-reset easy to find, so with just a few clicks, the salesperson canreset the hand control and prepare it for the next customer.

10Exterior – brand at first sight!
Like many other LINAK® products, the HC40 can carry
your corporate brand – logo or name – either on thebattery cover or in the display – or both!
And there is more! Both the battery cover and the backcan be customised with a different colour to matchyour corporate visual identity, a specific brand or even aunique pattern.

What started as a development project for a newLINAK® hand control for modern comfort beds ended
up becoming a whole family of hand controls.
The feedback from our extensive user survey pointed in
the direction of two design variants with two versions
each – four different hand controls in total.
