Application Examples

Vehicle guidance components are used in the most varied of applications. The range covers basic requirements for line-guided vehicles (at affordable prices and in large numbers), to more demanding requirements for products that are particularly vibration-proof and have to be totally reliable, even in tough ambient conditions and at extreme temperatures.

As a result, even fast vehicles transporting people, cranes in seaports, or vehicles on rough terrain and in very hot or cold conditions, can be guided reliably.

Tried and tested under the toughest of conditions

  • Reliable operation at high and low temperatures
  • Smooth operation in wet conditions
  • Independent of lighting conditions
  • Insensitive to dust
  • Perfect operation even under influence of vibrations and shocks
