SENSORS & INSTRUMENTATION LIVE SHOW PREVIEW THE JOURNEY CONTINUES RHEINTACHO UK 100 YEARS OF TRADITION AND INNOVATION RHEINTACHO UK, is now celebrating 100 years of business including many turbulent years of differing ownership, management buyouts and since the last acquisition by Rheintacho Messtechnik from Freiburg, Germany in 1990, a period of growth and stability has dominated the last 20 years. Rheintacho is not only growing in terms of staff, but also technologically. The Leeds based company is not the Rheintacho Group’s competence center for intrinsically safe products (ATEX certified) and is now enlarging this ATEX portfolio constantly. Latest additions are the complete family of eddy current tachometers for use in printing, paper production, refuelling operations, paint and coating productions and more. We are developing new products in ATEX versions to further serve the core markets in hazardous areas with instruments, tachometers and stroboscopes which are ATEX certified. In addition, Rheintacho is the specialist in the production of sensors for detecting, recording, measuring and controlling rotational speed and linear movement are 62 PECM Issue 40 the benchmark for the industry in quality and reliability. The newest trend in our development of sensors is moving us toward multi-functionality, i.e. introducing sensors which not only measure rotational speed, but also detect temperature; one sensor for 2 functions. The advantages of such multi-functional sensors help our customers save money and reduce complexity of their own systems. Our M8, for example, is a small multi-functional sensor for both speed and temperature. And its compact size and intelligent design make it easier for engineers to include in their product developments as well. On top of sensors, RHEINTACHO is a leading manufacturer of both portable and stationary industrial stroboscopes. The newest development is another high-performance handheld device with an auto-synchronisation function to the speed of the moving object called the PocketStrobe LED Laser. Rheintacho stroboscopes are among the brightest and most reliable on the market. They are frequently used in our family of tachometers, including eddy current tachometers and handheld mechanical, optical and digital tachometers is quite extensive offering many different options.
