Customized BIS RFID products
Balluff is known for its over 30 years of RFID experience, in which development and practice have always gone hand in hand. Based on this know-how, we can also offer customer-specific solutions:
- Adaptation to size requirements with special housing geometries and housing materials
- Housing adaptations and individual mounting options
- Adaptation of the housing material for special environmental conditions
- Flexible adaptation of cabling and connectors
Typical examples are modifications to data carriers or read/write heads:
(1) Data carriers: As required, we can implement a special housing geometry with individually positioned screw holes for mounting the data carrier. The housing material can also be adapted to your requirements and, for example, designed from PEEK material for use with aggressive liquids.
(2) Read/write heads: It is not uncommon for an initially specifically designed customer solution to prove itself useful in further applications. Our BIS00PA read/write head, for example, was originally designed for the limited space available in a metalworking application but has since become a "quasi-standard" for similar special installation situations.
If required, we can also design read/write heads with a housing made of stainless steel and PEEK, for example, to meet high hygiene requirements. Security functions can also be integrated as additional options by means of password protection for the data carrier, read/write head and evaluation unit.
(3) Hybrid read head: Another example of how we incorporate customer-specific requirements into a product development is a hybrid read head that supports two RFID frequencies. In this case, to give customers flexibility in using two different RFID standards, two coils were integrated into one housing. The coil signals are routed to the evaluation unit via two separate connectors.
