To ensure uninterrupted performance, these machines need sensors that detect and provide data continuously under all conditions. To acquire and send this data, INSTROTECH, instrumentation & process control specialists representing SIKO locally, proudly announce the world's first modular sensor PURE.MOBILE, developed exclusively for use in commercial vehicles.

SIKO’s PURE.MOBILE promises more flexibility, robustness and security than ever before.  This SIKO’s PURE.MOBILE platform was designed and developed exclusively 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 that use the PURE.MOBILE 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 SIKO rotary encoders that 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 of the SIKO 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 choose from. This means greater flexibility, resilience and safety than ever before. With PURE.MOBILE, the focus is on the future of SIKO customers, providing support for automation, digitization and efficiency.
