Ring-shaped RFID HF read/write head

HF Read/Write Head for Tire Manufacturing

The tag at the bobbin can be identified at any position within the read head

The IQH1-F198-V1 HF read/write head is the result of a client-specific project and was developed for use in cap strip and tire building machines in tire manufacturing.

A ring-shaped HF read/write head was created as the optimum solution so that the bobbin fixture can be put through the read/write head and the RFID tag is always positioned within the reading range of the reader.

This product shows Pepperl+Fuch’s ability to respond flexibly, quickly and successfully to customer wishes and to implement new products together with the customer.

How Custom-Built Becomes Standardized

Pepperl+Fuchs showcases how custom-built design leads to a new standard product When existing RFID products are not up to the task, an application requires custom-built design. For a special challenge involving the tracking of tyre manufacturing pre-products, Pepperl+Fuchs, one of the leading suppliers of industrial RFID technology, developed a matching read / write head. By leveraging new technologies such as 3D printing and Hot Melt, the company was able to present the first prototype after only two weeks! The results and experiences of the custom design are now integrated into the broad portfolio of standardized products. This way, all Pepperl+Fuchs customers benefit from the company's applied solutions expertise.
