SIKO GmbH will be presenting its latest solutions for safety position sensors at bauma in Munich, the largest specialist trade fair for construction machinery in the world. Under the slogan “Solutions for Complex Challenges,” the company will be showing how it supports its customers with innovative, reliable and, above all, safe sensors for the development of autonomous and highly automated construction machines at Stand 415 in Hall A2.
Making machines fit for the challenges of the future, SIKO GmbH is presenting its comprehensive range of sensor solutions for mobile machines. Whether it’s for new safety specifications, complex motion control or innovative application concepts – the company’s products are specially tailored to the needs of its customers and are developed 100% for use in mobile machines. In this context, SIKO emphasizes maximum reliability, safety and advanced technology.
Focus on Functional Safety
Safety is the top priority for SIKO. This is also evident in the company's product highlights at bauma, which consist one of the most extensive portfolios of safety position sensors in the market. They meet the highest safety standards and help make applications future-proof.
The company operates as a strategic development partner and designs robust, application-orientated sensor solutions for mobile machines. With a deep understanding of customer needs, SIKO provides support from planning through to implementation of the sensors. The company’s broad product portfolio allows it to offer both standard solutions and systems individually adapted to specific requirements.
Innovative Sensor Technology
Among the latest product innovations that SIKO is presenting at bauma 2025 are the new draw-wire encoders of the NEO series, with measurement lengths from 3 to 15 meters and impressively compact design, strength and safety features up to Performance Level d (PLd). The new, highly dynamic inertial measurement unit (IMU), the IMS365R, is certified to SIL2 and PLd, and provides not only a dynamically compensated and reliable static inclination value, but also other important data, such as acceleration, rotation rates and Euler angles, which are also available as safety values. These are essential functions for autonomous machines. With the WV3600MR and WH3600MR, SIKO is also presenting the smallest safe absolute multiturn encoders in the world, which, in addition to reliable position and speed data, impress with their small design and diameter of just 36 mm.
Another innovative product is the bearingless encoder MSK5000CAN, which has an extremely compact design and high protection type up to IP68 which make it ideal for contactless detection of speed, travel direction and position. It transmits the information it gathers conveniently via the CANopen interface. In addition, the bearingless MSAC200 encoder, also known as the FlexCoder, impresses with its versatility and the wide choice of different continuous hollow shaft diameters up to 230 mm that it can accommodate. This absolute bearingless rotary encoder is optimised for use in electric drives, slip rings and hydraulic motors, and offers a resolution of up to 20 bits per rotation.
