A disruptive sensor for intelligent hydraulics

February 27, 2020 By Ken Korane

LIebherr LiView position transducers are built to withstand extreme environments and severe operating conditions typical of mobile machinery.

The Liebherr LiView is an innovative position transducer for hydraulic cylinders that uses the piston itself as a sensing element. The adoption of electronic controls into mobile equipment has led to game-changing productivity enhancements — precision excavating and grading, remote maintenance capabilities and autonomous machine operation, just to name a few. But for such systems […]
