RFU61x UHF Transponder Identification

Compact RFID read/write device for short sensing ranges.

The RFU61x is the smallest read/write device in the UHF portfolio from SICK. It is perfectly suited for IoT applications directly on the workpiece or component. The RFU61x therefore rounds out the UHF product portfolio from SICK by enabling continuous identification along the entire value chain. The interfaces of the RFU61x enable direct connection of a trigger sensor, whereby the RFU61x can be used as a remote, self-supporting unit. Thanks to the integrated process logic, data can be processed directly in the RFU61x and passed onto the controller or IT systems. Like the other Ethernet-based RFU devices, the RFU61x can also be programmed according to individual requirements using the SICK AppSpace eco-system.

• Rugged design (IP67)

Complete transparency with the RFU family

Continuous and company-wide identification with a single technology is now possible for the first time. The RFU61x achieves complete transparency in production and logistics processes – from component assembly to the shipment of the end product. The foundation for this is UHF RFID technology: IIoT applications with scanning ranges of 0 to 10 m, bulk reading and resistance to interfering factors such as light, dirt and dust. A direct line of sight to the data card is also not required.

Continuous identification solution for production and logistics process

The RFU61x RFID read/write device, part of the RFID identification solutions from SICK, is allowing for full transparency along the entire value chain for the first time - and all with one technology

Intelligent UHF RFID identification in the smallest of spaces

The RFU61x is the smallest RFID read/write device of its type. It is optimally suited for IIoT applications for identifying workpieces or components. Diverse interfaces allow for the direct connection of trigger sensors. Intelligent data processing is already integrated. The RFU61x can therefore be used as a self-sufficient remote unit.

The compact RFU61x is optimally suited for applications which do not offer much installation space. The sensor independently performs the triggering, reading and writing as well as processing of data.
