RFID - new, compact, and robust UHF read/write head from Pepperl+Fuchs
UHF read/write heads offer a higher range than LF and HF read/write systems, since the UHF technology communicates in the far field using "detached" waves and the LF/HF systems work in the near field. The range can be varied by changing the antenna design and the transmitted power. In addition to the existing F117 UHF antenna with a range of up to 6 m, Pepperl+Fuchs now offer a very compact solution, the new F190 UHF, specifically tailored to applications in production technology and intralogistics where the read distance of the LF and HF systems is not sufficient.

PEPPERL+FUCHS FACTORY AUTOMATION
Small, high-performance sensors for tight spaces
Pushing the limits of physical possibility is the greatest challenge facing technology. In addition to technical excellence, the economic aspect is taking on an increasingly important role. The machine construction market is continuously aiming for more compact, faster machines with higher capacity. Special packaging machines or machines for manufacturing PCBs are being constantly optimized to enhance their overall power density. In addition to mechanical components, electronic components that control the systems must also be consistently adapted. There is an increasing demand for smaller sensors that offer the performance, speed, and precision of larger sensors. In addition to functionality, it should also be possible to integrate these sensors discretely into the machine.

New success for Tata Steel modular platforms
Tata Steel has installed two new modular platform systems in the UK, one at West Drayton Station, and the other at Langley Station. These modular systems provide a cost-efficient, quick way to design and install passenger platforms and can be customised with all types of surfaces and finishes. West Drayton was installed with only a weekend of traffic disruption, and Langley needed no traffic interruption.

Reflow Tracker compiles and analyzes temperature profiles – Datapaq at SMT Hybrid Packaging 2013
Cambridge, UK – Datapaq presents temperature measurement systems for the electronics industry at the SMT Hybrid Packaging 2013 exhibition in Nuremberg, Germany, in Hall 7, at Stand 513. Reflow Tracker systems are used in reflow soldering processes as well as in wave, vapor phase, and selective soldering, and at rework stations. They help reduce reject rates and increase yield. Melting the solder with optimal energy consumption but without damaging the electrical components requires precise temperature control. The systems pass through SMT processes along with the printed circuit boards, providing data for real-time monitoring via radio, if required. Temperature profiles from up to twelve thermocouples per data logger can be displayed and analyzed with the accompanying software. User-friendly tools support analysis, oven setup, and the determination of the optimal oven recipe for simple as well as complex components.
