The machine must be stable to ensure safe operation. Safe sensors from SIKO ensure that the position of outriggers, booms, uppercarriages and entire vehicles is always detected precisely and reliably and that safety for people and the environment is always guaranteed. Our wide range of draw-wire encoders, rotary encoders and inclination sensors provides a wide range of possibilities.
