TWIIST – MULTIVARIABLE LINEAR POSITION SENSOR

The centrepiece of Gefran’s exhibition is the TWIIST multivariable sensor, an advanced version developed for agricultural applications, which has been awarded the ‘Technological Innovations’ prize by EIMA. To address the critical issues associated with the build-up of mud, fertiliser and crop residues in the sensor’s sliding area, the new version of TWIIST incorporates new sealing elements and a dedicated scraper, which minimise the risk of these contaminants obstructing its movement. The system also includes a self-supporting protective metal frame, ensuring its long-term functionality. The TWIIST offers a wide variety of connectors and electrical outputs. Thanks to its integrated multivariable platform, the sensor simultaneously records position, velocity and linear acceleration, along with pitch, roll and raw acceleration across three axes.
