To ensure uninterrupted performance, mobile machines require sensors that detect and provide data under all conditions, whether operating in  heat, cold, shock, vibration, water or mud conditions. To meet these requirements, INSTROTECH, representing SIKO locally, have announced the world's first modular sensor, PURE.MOBILE, developed exclusively for application in commercial vehicles.

SIKO’s PURE.MOBILE technology platform was designed and developed for position-detection in mobile machines.

Unlike many of the sensors on the market that come from industry and are then merely adapted for mobile machines, sensors from SIKO have been specifically developed to  meet the EMC requirements for construction, agricultural and forestry machines and the requirements of E1 (UN ECE R10) for road vehicles. They are based on wear-free, robust, magnetic sensing technology. The flexibility of the extendible modular design is also unique. The rotary encoders using the PURE.MOBILE platform can be extended to include additional functions through option cards selected by the user; these include, for example, an integrated inclinometer, DIP switches for parameterisation, and digital inputs and outputs. All of the sensors with PURE.MOBILE technology are also available in a safety version for applications up to performance level d (PLd). These features are rounded off by a large number of analogue and digital interfaces to select from.
