UHF RFID Readers

Turck’s Long Range UHF Readers Designed for Industrial Use

Highspeed transmission of data across long ranges are the core features of UHF RFID systems. Therefore UHF became standard for applications demanding greater distances between readers and data carriers.

Radio ranges of up to several meters are possible with Turck’s BL ident system and UHF readers, depending on the surrounding conditions. This means high operational safety for automated processes where data carriers are constantly in motion. It also provides high flexibility for manually executed identification tasks. The radio interface for readers and tags is internationally standardized (ISO 18000-6c with UHF).

Key Facts

• Frequency range 860…960 MHz (country specific)

• International standards: ISO 18000-6c/Gen2, ETSI EN 302208

• Read/write distance: up to several meters

• Rugged design up to IP67

• Readers with integrated or external antennas

• Detection of multiple tags per second (bulk capability) up to approx. 200 tags

Applications:

• Use in logistics, intralogistics and industrial production applications

• Applications with long ranges

• Pharmaceutical serialization

• When tags leave the factory, UHF systems are recommended

• Bulk reading of many tags requires UHF readers installed in RFID gates
