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 determine errors. To address this requirement the IXARC SIL-2 or redundant encoders are an excellent fit, combining redundant measurement with an easy-to-integrate interface. ensors for High Levels of Shock & Vibration S ncreased Accuracy & Safety I 2 Linear Sensors for Boom 3 Rotary Encoders for Speed Rotational Angle Control Extension Measurement Control of the Cable Drums ▪▪Rugged Draw Wire Sensors ▪▪Compact Design,...

Arm / Boom Extension Trucks with long boom extensions such as fire trucks or concrete pumps have to reach to high-rise buildings, often over large obstacles. IXARC rotary encoders can be mounted directly on the rotational joints to provide data for active damping systems. TILTIX single or dual axis inclinometers can be used to monitor the position of the boom arm or for base leveling.

Scissor Lifts and Aerial Work Platforms Scissor lifts need constant tilt monitoring to prevent tip-overs, an easy job for the dual axis TILTIX inclinometers. IXARC rotary encoders and LINARIX linear sensors are ideal for situations where the height of the lift needs to be known.
