Turck Launches Rugged IP-67 Rated Handheld RFID Reader

New device reads HF, UHF plus 1D, 2D codes in one solution for maximum flexibility

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (July 27, 2020) -Turck, a manufacturer of sensors, identification solutions, connectivity and fieldbus technology for factory, logistics and process automation, today announced it will launch the PD67 handheld RFID reader, ideal for material handling and manufacturing applications. This easy-to-use RFID reader includes an Android operating system and 5.5 inch capacitive touch screen. It reads both HF and UHF tags and is offered with an optional 2D barcode reader, which is an industry first. It is rated IP67.


The PD67 offers:

• All-in-one platform reads HF (ISO 15693) and UHF (ISO 18000-6C) with optional 2D barcode reader in one device for maximum application flexibility.
• Rated IP67 with Android OS is rugged enough for long-lasting industrial and commercial use.
• Intuitive, easy-to-use, but highly capable application interface boasts a large degree of capability, and can easily be customized to meet customer-specific requirements.

Applications in material handling include tracking and managing inventory, order fulfillment and more. The solution improves dock-to-stock information transfer and identification conversion (ex., transferring barcode/UHF information to re-usable HF tags).

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
