TAKAYA Corporation Product Lineup

The Takaya APT series is a flying probe in-circuit tester that boasts overwhelming performance with the world's top market share, capable of detecting all defects on printed circuit boards through ultra-fast inspection. An in-circuit tester is a device that inspects the reliability of electrical connections between components and the board. By applying signals smaller than the operating current, it can identify defective areas and detect incorrect constants without damaging the components or the board. It is characterized by its ability to discover electrical defects that cannot be found through visual inspection (AOI), thereby enhancing quality assurance levels and making it easier to gain customer trust. The latest APT series has achieved a probe movement speed increase of up to 1.5 times compared to previous models, thanks to improvements in high-speed drive motors and communication control, enabling high-speed inspections with a minimum step of 0.02 seconds. This reduces inspection time by more than 30% compared to previous models, contributing to further reductions in inspection costs. Trial/testing consultations are also available. If you have any issues with inspecting printed circuit boards, please feel free to contact us. *For detailed information, please refer to the catalog.*

We have created a video explaining the effects of stacking RF tags, and we will publish it. When RF tags are stacked, their communication performance decreases, making stable communication impossible. This is because the antennas of the RF tags overlap, and due to mutual inductance, the resonant frequency of the RF tags shifts towards the lower frequency. The degree of impact on communication performance varies depending on the spacing between the RF tags when stacked and the number of tags stacked. 1. About the principle Explanation of the principle behind the decrease in communication performance when stacking RF tags. 2. Demonstration Operational demonstration explaining the following content: - Stacking RF tags decreases communication performance. - The narrower the spacing between RF tags when stacked, the more communication performance decreases. - The more tags stacked, the greater the decrease in communication performance.

When a reader/writer (antenna) comes close to metal, communication performance (distance, area) may decrease. This is especially true when there is metal behind the antenna, as it is most affected by the metal. Therefore, we have created a video that explains the impact of metal proximity on the antenna and the countermeasures, and we are now releasing it.

• IC tag reader/writer

When multiple antennas are installed in close proximity and operated simultaneously, the magnetic field radiated from another antenna can interfere with communication with RF tags, leading to a decrease in communication performance. This phenomenon is referred to as mutual interference of antennas. We have created a video explaining the effects of mutual interference of antennas, and we will be releasing it.

• IC tag reader/writer

When multiple antennas are installed in close proximity, they can couple through electromagnetic induction, which may result in reading data from RF tags on another antenna.

In industries such as manufacturing, retail, logistics, and healthcare, the need for operational efficiency using RFID is increasing due to work style reforms and labor shortages. Particularly in tasks that require significant manpower and time, such as inventory management and inspection, using RFID allows for bulk reading and verification of product information, thereby achieving operational efficiency. However, stable reading of RF tags attached to products, packaging boxes, and reusable materials is necessary for these implementations. Against this backdrop, Takaya has developed the "UTR-SUN02-8CH," which can be applied to gate-type and tunnel-type operations that require high reading accuracy through the control of multiple antennas.
