Flexible UHF On-Metal RFID Label ID-64X06 (64 × 6 mm)

A narrow on-metal RFID label for slim metal parts

Some metal assets simply have no room for a normal label. The ID-64X06 is a UHF on-metal RFID strip just 6 mm high and 64 mm long, so it fits along a tool shank, a bracket, a panel bezel or the rim of a metal tray without overhanging. It is thin and flexible, follows shallow curves, and the face still takes a printed serial number or a small barcode.

Typical uses

• Spanners, drivers and extension bars in a tool crib
• Instrument tray edges and slim brackets in equipment stores
• DIN rails, bezels and slim enclosures inside control cabinets
• Patch-panel strips and connectors in data centres

Getting reliable reads from a 6 mm strip

With so little height, how you present the reader matters more than it does with a wider label. Degrease the surface and apply the strip dead straight along its length, because a twist costs read distance. Scan from in front of the printed face rather than along the edge. If a piece will not read, check alignment and placement first; our RFID troubleshooting guide covers the usual causes.
