TURCK Extends RFID Capabilities with HF Solution with Extended Surface Area
The Q80L800 HF read/write head improves performance and tag read rates for larger sensing areas
PLYMOUTH, Minn. (July 29, 2014) - TURCK announces the Q80L800 HF read/write head, the latest addition to the companys comprehensive RFID portfolio. The Q80L800, with a sensing range of 800 mm, offers an ideal solution for close and medium HF applications, such as conveyor applications, and expands the sensing area, providing improved performance and higher read rates of tags.
The Q80L800 HF read/write solution can be operated on TURCKs BL ident® solution, which allows for easy integration into existing control systems and supports all of the major protocols, providing an all-in-one industrial RFID solution. To offer even more application flexibility, the Q80L800 can be operated simultaneously with UHF solutions, providing an industrial RFID solution that is unmatched in the market.
The active read/write head supports the ISO 15693 Standard, and combines antenna and electronics in a robust IP67 housing with the dimensions 80 x 800 x 25 mm. In combination with TURCKs robust HF tags, which allow direct mounting on metal, use at high temperatures or in autoclaves, the Q80L800 is a great solution for conveyor and web processing applications.
"The Q80L800 HF read/write head broadens our RFID portfolio and offers our customers superior performance," said Randy Durick, TURCKs networks and interfaces division director. "We developed this RFID solution with an improved and larger sensing area, so our customers can read tags at a higher rate no matter where the tags are mounted."

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field â€" perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
