Rugged RFID Tags

Tags for virtually any RFID application in industry or logistics

Turck's rugged tags (data carriers) with high protection class are insensitive to dirt and liquids. All tags are passively powered via the read/write head and are maintenance free.

Turck offers sensor tags that record and store process values such as temperature or pressure in moving components.

The sensor element can be used to measure humidity, magnetic fields, reed contacts or inductive sensors. The sensor tags are supplied with power and read via an HF-RFID read/write head.

Absolutely safe production of child car seats with tag team

Tag-based system saves PLC and money! How the Industry 4.0 philosophy can be implemented in specific projects was recently demonstrated by Kirschenhofer Maschinen GmbH in a project for Britax Römer Kindersicherheit GmbH. Kirschenhofer implemented a tracking system for child seats without any kind of higher-level controllers or central databases and using an RFID tag on the product as the data pool. This tag contains the sequence of the assembly stations and documents all production steps. This ensures quality and makes it possible to later identify the product quickly and easily even in its packaging – at any location and without any access to a database. The successful project is based on the connection Kirschenhofer implemented from Turck's TBEN-S multiprotocol RFID I/O modules to the Labview system development software from National Instruments.

Turck Supplies RFID Position Measurement for Fairground Rides

Ready for Take-Off German amusement park supplier Wiegand is implementing innovative position measurements into two fairground rides. In the future, the rides will rely on a system consisting of encoders and RFID read/write heads from automation expert Turck, connected to a Hima safety controller. Wiegand previously used an optical encoder in its Wie-Flyers and Bobkart circuits that only offered limited performance in severe outdoor environments. After the component was discontinued, Wiegand and its integrator ARI-contact came across a permanently robust solution based on Hima and Turck products. Turck encoders, RFID tags and read/write heads will ensure safe movement for these fairground rides in future. Through the combination of incremental and RFID position sensing, the system reliably prevents any collisions. By Karl-Josef Franke, Sales Specialist for System Solutions, Turck

Turck Presents UHF Reader Platform for Industry 4.0

Direct connection of external antennas increases flexibility of read/write heads and simplifies gate applications At the SPS IPC Drives fair, Turck will be presenting the first device in its Q300 UHF reader family with an Ethernet interface. RFID users particularly benefit from the range of platforms and interfaces of the Q300 readers. Up to four external antennas can be connected directly on the reader, thus considerably simplifying the creation of high performance gate applications in multiplex operation. The direct connection of triggers and signals via universal I/Os also simplifies the installation. With an output power of up to 2 W the readers can achieve very large read/write ranges. Their selectable antenna polarization enables read holes to be excluded in any environment, even with a high output.
