Turck TB-Q08 ultrasmall RFID read/write head

Click2Contact

Turck is now offering users the ultrasmall TB-Q08 ISO15693-compliant RFID read/write head with protection to IP67. In spite of its compact dimensions of 32 x 20 x 8 mm, the housing manages to integrate the antenna, electronics and two LEDs visible from all directions. The LEDs indicate a functioning power supply as well as active read/write operations to the user.

Due to its compact rectangular design and the 15 cm-long connection cable with an M12 connector, the TB-Q08 is particularly suitable for use in restricted mounting conditions, such as in small assembly and transport lines. The rugged and compact design also makes it suitable for tool or mould identification, such as in injection moulding or die stamping.

When combined with Turck’s R10 and R12 tags, the TB-Q08 can be used in the identification of metal objects. The 10 and 12 mm diameter tags can be mounted directly in metal and are equipped with a chip that supports password functions. In conjunction with Turck’s BL ident RFID system, the user can implement simple brand protection, access protection and access rights management.
