Heat, cold, shock, vibration, water, mud, or dust – however dire or adverse the conditions are, mobile machines must work reliably under the harshest of conditions. To ensure uninterrupted performance, these machines need sensors which detect and provide data continuously under all conditions.

To acquire and send this data, Instrotech, instrumentation and process control specialists representing Siko locally, proudly announce the world's first modular sensor pure.mobile, developed exclusively for use in commercial vehicles. This sensor promises more flexibility, robustness, and security than ever before. This technology platform was designed and developed exclusively for position-detection in mobile machines.

Unlike many of the sensors on the market which come from industry and are then merely adapted for mobile machines, sensors from Siko which use the technology platform have been developed exclusively for applications of this sort. Every pure.mobile sensor meets the EMC requirements for construction, agricultural and forestry machines, the requirements of E1 (UN ECE R10) for road vehicles, and is based on wear-free, robust, magnetic sensing technology.

The flexibility of the extendible modular design is also unique. The rotary encoders which use 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 parameterization, and digital inputs and outputs. All the sensors which use this technology are available in a safety version for applications up to Performance Level d (PLd). These features are rounded off by a large number of analog and digital interfaces to choose from. This means greater flexibility, resilience, and safety than ever before.
