June is National Safety Month

Designing for industrial safety in 2023

 

According to the National Safety Council, nearly 13,000 American workers suffer preventable injuries daily.

 

Thankfully the products available for machine safety are more advanced and reliable than they have ever been.

 

In recognition of National Safety Month, we are highlighting some of our trusted safety partners. Power/mation is dedicated to helping you design for safety.

      Turck Video - Thumb_

      New RFID Readers with Ethernet

      Turck launches the Q300 and Q180 UHF RFID readers

       

      The Q300 and Q180 UHF readers allow connections of 4 external UHF antennas and have an integrated CODESYS runtime.

       

      These Ethernet-capable solutions increase the reliability of UHF RFID applications, and thanks to external antennas, are also ideal in factories for continuous identification of objects throughout the production process.

       

      They are rated IP67, multiprotocol for multiple platform use and are easy to set up thanks to web-based configuration of RFID parameters.
