Gefran at @GIS 2025
Safety and stability are essential for those who work at height with lifting equipment. Gefran – an Italian multinational specializing in the design and manufacture of sensors, industrial process control instrumentation, and automation systems – will be present at GIS 2025 in Piacenza (September 25-27, Hall 1 – Stand D202) with a complete range of sensors designed to ensure maximum reliability and operator safety, even in harsh operating conditions.
“From telehandlers to aerial platforms and forklifts, our application know-how allows us to offer sensors for the precise and reliable control of every movement of lifting equipment,” says Andrea Taietta, Sensor Business Developer at Gefran. “Functional safety is at the heart of our work, with advanced solutions such as KMC pressure sensors with CANopen Safety and PLd-certified wire position sensors. Performance Level D will be progressively extended to other products in the range, including rotary sensors and inclinometers.”
Functional safety at the center
Gefran’s main solutions for lifting equipment will be on display at the fair. Through interactive demos, visitors will be able to discover how these technologies improve stability and precision in movements, reducing the risk of tipping.
Gefran reinforces its commitment to developing safe and reliable solutions for operators by extending PLd certification to KMC pressure transducers and the entire GSH linear wire sensor family. This extension ensures compliance with the most advanced functional safety standards, enabling accurate and continuous monitoring of pressure and position in lifting equipment. This certification will be progressively extended to the entire range of sensors dedicated to mobile machinery, including rotary sensors and inclinometers.
KMC transmitters with CANopen Safety
KMC transmitters, now available with CANopen Safety interface, ensure accurate and reliable monitoring of fluid pressure within Safety-Related Embedded Control Systems (SRECS). SIL2 and PLd certified, KMC transmitters integrate digital protocols compliant with EN 50325 standards, ensuring operational continuity even in the most critical applications, reducing the risk of malfunction, simplifying integration with vehicle digital systems, and ensuring reliable performance even in harsh environments.
GSH-A multivariable wire linear sensors
The GSH-A multivariable transducer, with CANopen output, simultaneously detects linear position and angle of inclination. Thanks to Hall effect technology and a single-axis MEMS inclinometer, it measures up to 12,500 mm, withstands shocks up to 50 g and vibrations up to 20 g, and offers IP67 protection.
Ideal for aerial platforms, telehandlers, and forklifts, it monitors stabilizers and movable arms, ensuring maximum control and precision in vehicle movements. In combination with the GIB, GIG, and GIT series inclinometers, the GSH-A ensures accurate monitoring and advanced control of operations, optimizing vehicle efficiency and safety.
Rotary sensors for steering control
Hall effect rotary angle sensors ensure precision in manoeuvres and optimisation of turning radii. The range includes the GR3P, GRA and GRN series, all E1 approved for road use. Resistant to dust, liquids and temperature variations, with high electromagnetic immunity, they ensure reliability even on construction sites and in harsh environments.
The GR3P series, with different mechanical configurations and center distances of 32 or 50 mm, facilitates installation on a wide range of vehicles, ensuring application flexibility and precision in motion control.
Application demos: twiist and SLR
At the stand, visitors will be able to interact directly with two innovative products. TWIIST, a multivariable sensor capable of detecting position, speed, acceleration, vibration, and spatial angles (x, y, z), with data displayed in real time on a digital panel, showing the potential to measure multiple variables simultaneously with a single device. SLR, previewed at GIS, is a sensor for measuring structural deformation, designed to accurately monitor bending and stress on arms and components of mobile machines in outdoor applications. IP69K certified and equipped with thermal compensation, it allows real-time detection of structural changes, contributing to stability and safety during lifting operations.
