1067558

Overview

The SICK model 1067558 is an RFID read/write device with an integrated antenna, designed for short-range applications. It operates within the UHF frequency band of 860 MHz to 960 MHz, utilizing carrier frequencies of 920.625 MHz and 924.375 MHz. The unit delivers an output power of 25 mW (ERP, 14 dBm) and supports EPCglobal UHF Class 1 Generation 2, ISO/IEC 18000-6 C, and Rain Modulation PR-ASK standards. Connectivity is provided via PoE. The integrated antenna features a circular polarization with a typical axial ratio of 3 dB, a front-to-back ratio exceeding 5 dB, and an aperture angle of 110 degrees. The reading range is specified as less than or equal to 0.5 meters, depending on the transponder used and ambient conditions.

Feature Summary

• Integrated antenna design supporting circular polarization
• Supports multiple UHF RFID standards including ISO/IEC 18000-6 C
• Power over Ethernet connectivity for simplified installation

Applications

• Short-range industrial automation identification
• Machine tool component tracking
• Automated assembly line process control

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required regional radio approval certifications, such as those for China or Thailand, as these variants may differ in regulatory compliance documentation. Ensure the included mounting kit part number aligns with the intended bracket configuration. Confirm that the application environment does not exceed the operational limits defined by the transponder type and ambient conditions affecting the maximum reading range.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a compact, short-range solution with integrated antenna functionality is required. The choice is driven by the need for PoE connectivity and support for standard UHF protocols. Consider the limited reading range of 0.5 meters and the specific carrier frequencies available for your region. This device is suitable for environments where space constraints prevent the use of separate reader and antenna units.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Rfu61x series of RFID readers from SICK. The series focuses on providing robust identification solutions for industrial environments. The model integrates the radio frequency electronics directly with the antenna element, simplifying system architecture compared to distributed setups. It is engineered for reliability in automated manufacturing settings requiring precise, short-distance data exchange.
