RHEINTACHO GROUP he RHEINTACHO Group, headquartered in Freiburg, Germany has 4 subsidiaries worldwide; in the UK, the Czech Republic, France and China. Each of them is specialized in something different technically, making them centers of competence within the group and for customers as well, enabling customer and application focus at its best. T Most of the R&D and design work is done in Freiburg, but for special products, customer applications and customized product versions, each location carries some development responsibility. And that is what makes RHEINTACHO unique and successful. RHEINTACHO Messtechnik GmbH in Germany is responsible for all electronic devices, such as all different types and sizes of rotational speed sensors, optical and digital tachometers as well as stroboscopes. Every year RHEINTACHO introduces a number of new sensors and the latest additions to the sensor portfolio are sensors which have a higher degree of functionality. The ABZ sensor, for example, not only measures rotational speed, but also can detect direction of rotation and position. This additional information opens new dimensions for the customer in control and recording. The new M8 sensor is another further development of RHEINTACHO where additional features are very evident. This rotational speed sensor also offers temperature detection. 120 PECM Issue 31 The variety of sensors RHEINTACHO supplies also include sensors which can be used in extremely difficult conditions, requiring protection class IP6K9K. Some of our sensor families can even withstand temperatures up to 160 °C. These sensors enable our customers to have the proven technology they are accustomed to even under more difficult conditions. The RHEINTACHO stroboscopes are among the world’s brightest and are highly accepted both as portable or stationary ones. The product lines include both Xenon and LED versions, hence allowing the customer to choose among a wide variety of stroboscopes to fit any application. The newest addition is the RHEINTACHO RT STROBE pocketLED which is now available in 4 different versions, standard, standard with trigger, UV and the newest member has an auto-sync function, and is already well received on the portable stroboscope RT STROBE super qbLED, the big brother of the RT STROBE pocketLED. The RHEINTACHO portfolio of tachometers, the oldest products within the group, includes optical, digital and mechanical handheld devices for measuring rotational speed or axial length. In addition, there are eddy current tachometers and tacho-generators which complement the family. The mechanical tachometers, eddy current tachometers and tacho- generators are manufactured in England and business has been growing successfully in the past few years. Another strength of the English unit is the ability to repair and service tachometers, governors and indicators of any age or source, including instruments from companies which may no longer exist.
