We Don‘t Just Make Devices. We Set Standards!

Making top-quality devices and machines is one thing. Developing technologies is another, and that is exactly what has always driven us: the continuous search for new and optimum solutions to suit the requirements of our customers. It comes as no surprise then, that our team in D-88634 Aftholderberg, Germany is always coming up with innovations that set standards.

Whether wishing to integrate a drop-in (OEM) encoding system in an already existing manufacturing line or deciding to purchase a stand-alone solution, capable of handling all aspects of the personalization process, Rinas can assist with the all-important yet often challenging decision-making task.

The Rinas legacy has always been at the heart of the personalization environment – where the encoding takes place – and, because of its success and hard-earned reputation in this field, Rinas has moved forward, breaking away from being ‘ just’ a component supplier, and developed its own range of peripheral equipment to complement its encoder family and create a personal environment that is not only environmentally friendly but also extremely compact.

Even the multitude of bespoke solutions working hard around the globe preparing public transport tickets, processing bank books, creating loyalty cards or verifying security certificates all feature the same common, reoccurring elements: thoroughness of design, precision engineering and longevity.

  • Production equipment for RFID, magnet and Smart Cards
  • Individual or continuous ticket encoding
  • Card handling (separating, printing, scanning, sorting, stacking)
  • Bespoke machinery / customer-specific engineering
  • Electronic component and software development

Our drive: Focus on the requirements of our customers and the high demands that we have always placed on ourselves and on our products.

We don’t just build devices. We set standards.

Our drive: the constant search for new and optimal solutions for the requirements of our customers.

Rinas SRM ID-1 High-Speed RFID Encoding

The Rinas SRM encoder comprises an ultra-smooth transport system combined with an optional, height adjustable, universal RFID reader for the majority of currently available tags in use in today’s card industry.

Comprehensive software facilitates the encoding and subsequent verification of the processed cards. Customer RFID hardware and software can be used in place of the Rinas solution as required. Greater throughput can be obtained by installing an optional second reader at little cost.

  • Card Dimensions (ID-1): Length: 85.7 mm, Width: typ. 54.0 mm, max. 140.0 mm, Thickness: 0.5 mm to 1.3 mm
  • Supported RFID tags: Legic®, Mifare®, Icode®, Hitag®, EM, and custom (own reader
  • Optional Scanner: Barcodes (common), 2D-codes (common), OCR
  • Accessories: Card separator, Card stacker (with good / bad sorting), Scanner (Barcode / 2D-code / OCR), Printer: Ink-jet / thermal transfer or DoD

Applications:

  • Classical public transportation
  • City marketing & tourism
  • Customer loyalty card systems
  • Employee and access cards
  • Toll collection & control
  • Cinema or theatre tickets
  • Reusable parking tickets

Rinas RFE

Production Systems
Rinas RFE for reel-to-reel or fanfold ticketing applications

Primarily targeting the RFID ticketing community, the RFE accepts continuous pre-printed tickets either in fan-folded form or in batch rolls containing typically anything up to 5,000 individual tickets – the limiting factor being the physical size of the drum for ease of handling.

Up to 20,000 tickets of different sizes and paper qualities can be processed per shift and the range of possible applications within local public transport, city marketing, or customer loyalty systems is almost limitless.

  • Ticket Dimensions (Std.): Length: min. ~40.0 mm, Width: ~30.0 mm to ~87.0 mm, Thickness: ~0.15 mm to ~0.6 mm
  • Supported RFID tags:Legic®, Mifare®, Icode®, Hitag®, EM, and custom (own reader)
  • Scanner: Barcodes (common), 2D-codes (common), OCR
  • Monochrome print module print width: 12.7 mm (Ink-Jet) / 54 mm (DoD)
  • Resolution (dpi): 600 x 600 or 1,200 x 600 (DoD)

Applications:

  • Classical public transportation
  • City marketing & tourism
  • Customer loyalty card systems
  • Employee and access cards
  • Payback systems
  • Cinema or theatre tickets
  • Packaging labels and stickers

Monochrome Drop-On-Demand (DOD) Print Module

  • Rinas's Monochrome Drop-On-Demand (DOD) Print Module

    The Rinas thermal drop-on-demand (DOD) variable data monochrome printing system

  • The Rinas thermal drop-on-demand (DOD) variable data monochrome printing system as extension to the Rinas CS-LWR and CS-SWR universal encoders

    Ideal extension to the Rinas CS-LWR and CS-SWR universal encoders

The Rinas thermal drop-on-demand (DOD) variable data monochrome printing system utilizes state-of-the-art piezoelectric technology and forms an important print accessory to the Rinas range of MagStripe, RFID and Smart Card encoding solutions. The speed at which a plastic card or paper ticket is transported under the print head can be altered to suit the operational environment, which also governs the UV exposure time.

The printer is an ideal extension to the Rinas CS-LWR and CS-SWR universal encoders which, due to their modular design, comprising various elements with their own intelligence (µC), enable specially adapted encoder configurations to be effortlessly assembled to meet specific customer requirements.

  • Borderless ID-1 printing
  • Print width: 54mm
  • Printing on different materials possible
  • Head temperature control
  • Durable construction
  • LED UV curing system
  • 1D/2Dcodes
  • Built-in fonts (all Windows TTF fonts)
  • Graphical output
  • Print resolution:
    • Typ.: 600 x 600 dpi
    • Max.: 600 x 1,200 dpi

Applications:

  • Printing on different materials possible like paper, PVC, ABS, Bio materials.
  • Encoding could be done by customer directly with data synchronization to our software or we could offer the encoding if the specification is clear.
  • Encoding and printing of cards/tickets which will be used for public transport, access control, club and membership cards, gift cards, skiing…etc.

    Inside view

The printer is an ideal extension to the Rinas CS-LWR universal encoder for magnetic, RFID or Chip card. Due to its modular design, comprising various elements with their own intelligence (μC), specially adapted encoder configurations can easily be assembled to meet customer requirements.

The main advantage of these systems is the parallel processing occurring within the individual modules. For example, a card can be in the process of being encoded via the LWR unit (MagStripe, RFID or CHIP) while the previous, already encoded card, is being printed. This means that significant higher throughputs can be achieved than with competing products. A print verification station comprising a downstream scanner is also possible.

  • Nearly Borderless ID-1 printing
  • Printing on different materials possible
  • Head temperature control
  • Durable construction
  • 1D/2D codes
  • Built-in fonts (all Windows TTF fonts)
  • Graphical output
    • Print resolution 300 dpi
    • Unicode character set

Applications:

  • Printing on different materials possible like paper, PVC, ABS, Bio materials.
  • Encoding could be done by customer directly with data synchronization to our software or we could offer the encoding if the specification is clear.
  • Encoding and printing of cards/tickets which will be used for public transport, access control, club and membership cards, gift cards, skiing…etc.
