In 2012, GlueLogix introduced a rewind system designed
specifically for RFID. Its key feature is a servo
driven nip, which allows precision stops, quick
acceleration, and fast continuous motion, along with
controlled paper path for variable printing. We will
equip it for UHF, HF or both, and ship it to your location.
In 2019, we started building the machines in house, and made
a few changes:
Upstream nip with removable cover, supporting the
removal of partially processed rolls.
Electronics and fuses are accessible through sliding
end panels
Nip and rewind motors are bigger
Nip power supply (25 pounds) is in a separate box that
can be placed on the floor.
This system shipped in 2016 with UHF, HF, Keyence Lumitrax
vision, and Kortho hot wax marker:
This system was shown at RFID Journal Live in 2014:

Writing
HF ISO14443-A: 2019: Shows stop-start, singulated
HF encoding of constant data on the 2019 model rewind
machine with upstream nip.
Writing
HF ISO15693 from Vision Data: 2018: Shows
stop-start, singulated HF encoding from vision
data. The vision system is the high end Keyence
CVX-400 system, capable of 1D and 2D codes, OCR, inlay
detection, and image archiving.

UHF Gen2: 2012: Shows stop-start, singulated Gen2
encoding on the GlueLogix Rewinder (WMV format, 2 MB).
Reading UHF Gen2:
2012: Shows continuous read test on the GlueLogix
Rewinder (WMV format, 2 MB).
Encoding
HF
NFC: 2012: Shows stop-start encoding of NFC, with
CSV data merge, on the GlueLogix Rewinder (WMV
format, 5 MB).
Supported Readers and Tags
LineLogix currently supports:
UHF Gen2 on Feig LRU02
HF ISO15693, ISO14443-A, -B and ISO18000-3 Mode 3 (aka
HF Gen2) on Feig HF readers.
Write and
Serialize - two ways to write data to inlays
Barcode and
Camera Operations - verify
barcode data from inlays, write barcode
data to inlays (custom), mark labels bad based on
smart camera screening (custom)
Serial
Translation - realtime translation of serial
data strings, measured at 5 mS lookup in a 128K record
database.
Encoding Modes
Constant Data
Lines in order from a CSV
Data from a CSV, looked up by Vision
or by Chip UID/TID
Data computed on the fly by a macro,
executed on each chip
Two of the new design rewinds shipped in 2019. A third
was built to order with shipment delayed due to covid. This was a big change after a few years of low demand.
In 2019, GlueLogix started building rewind machines in house, vs.
reselling them from an automation company. It was a big change, but now we control the design.
The tenth GlueLogix rewind machine shipped in August 2016. It included a Keyence Lumitrax vision
system, Kortho hot wax marker, and reader/encoders for
UHF Gen2, ISO15693, and ISO14443.
GlueLogix Rewind Machines are in use across the USA,
with one in Australia.
