Mobile Automation
Tough Sensors for Tough Jobs
In mobile machinery success is only possible when safety, efficiency and reliability are combined. POSITAL position and motion sensors can be used in a variety of applications to accomplish these goals such as monitoring the stability of a platform and the careful positioning of boom arms and blasting equipment. To be effective, sensors must withstand years of impact, shock, vibration, extreme temperatures and inclement weather.
Certified Sensors for Explosive Environments- SIL2 Certified for Safe Operation
- IP69K Sensors, Pressure & Temperature Resistant
Construction Machines
Encoders are installed in critical components of construction machinery, such as hydraulic systems, motors, and robotic arms, providing precise feedback on their position and movement. This data allows for accurate control, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced safety measures on construction sites.

Cranes
Cranes and other construction machinery are required to be safe, efficient and reliable. Positioning is of prime importance, and redundant systems are often used to eliminate errors. To address this requirement the IXARC redundant encoders are an excellent fit, combining redundant measurement with an easy-to-integrate interface.
- Sensors for High Levels of Shock & Vibration
- Increased Accuracy & Safety
Drilling
Drill rigs, excavators, and mobile hammering systems are complex machines that must operate flawlessly in harsh conditions. ATEX certified IXARC rotary encoders ensure accurate positioning of drill heads and masts, while single and dual-axis POSITAL TILTIX inclinometers provide essential information for platform leveling and arm positioning.

- Precise Positioning & Leveling
Mining
In areas with flammable substances like liquids, vapors, or combustible dust, there's a risk of fires or explosions. This can happen in mines, chemical plants, oil and gas industries, as well as milling, wood, or sugar operations. Equipment in such areas should be ATEX and IECEx certified to ensure safe operation under these conditions.
