Gefran @ Agrishow 2026: sensing solutions for agricultural mobile machines

Among the technologies on display, TWIIST stands out as a multivariable position sensor designed to simplify machine architecture while increasing control capabilities.

In advanced agricultural applications such as precision weeding on sloped terrain, TWIIST can be integrated into implement control systems to support automatic slope compensation, ensuring that working elements maintain the correct alignment with the ground. This enables consistent tool positioning and improves the accuracy of operations even in challenging field conditions.

Beyond implement control, TWIIST is also highly effective in suspension monitoring systems for vehicles such as tractors, sprayers and other agricultural machines. By combining position measurement with movement speed, inclination and vibrations, it enables more precise control of vehicle behavior, contributing to improved stability, comfort and overall machine performance.

For the most demanding applications, TWIIST is also available in versions with a protective shield, designed to withstand shocks, debris, dust and water, ensuring reliable operation even in harsh agricultural environments.

Gefran sensing technologies are designed to support the core functions of agricultural mobile machines, enabling accurate control of mechanical movements, efficient management of hydraulic circuits and smooth vehicle operation during field activities.

Position sensors are used to monitor and control the movement of key components such as arms, booms and implements, ensuring precise and repeatable positioning. In this context, solutions such as rotary sensors (GRA, GR3P, GRN) and linear position sensors (RK-5) provide reliable feedback for real-time machine control.

Pressure sensors of the KM series play a critical role in hydraulic system monitoring, allowing machine builders to control fluid power, optimize performance and ensure safe and efficient operation of actuators and circuits.

This integrated approach enables precise movements, efficient hydraulic control and stable machine operation across demanding agricultural applications.

Gefran sensors are engineered using high-performance materials specifically selected for the demanding operating conditions of agricultural mobile machines, including stainless steel and highly resistant engineering plastics such as PPA.

Designed to operate reliably in the field, they withstand high temperatures up to 125°C, mechanical stress and continuous exposure to dust, mud and moisture. The portfolio includes solutions with high IP protection ratings up to IP69K, ensuring durability even in environments subject to water infiltration and high-pressure cleaning.

This robust design approach allows Gefran sensors to deliver consistent performance over time, reducing maintenance needs and supporting reliable machine operation in real working conditions.

With over 60 years of experience in sensing technologies, Gefran looks forward to welcoming visitors at Agrishow 2026 – booth D062, from April 27 to May 1. 

Our team will be available to discuss your applications and provide expert guidance in selecting sensing solutions for agricultural mobile machines operating in demanding environments.
