General Production Steps of HF RFID Card INLAY

Sheet with YL Machines

Step 1: Design and confirm the card INLAY sheet specification as per the customer requirements, make the drawing of the antenna in AUTOCAD software in the computer or antenna embedding machine, and measure the sample inlay card frequency…

Machine model needed: Computer & Contactless IC Frequency Tester YFT-1

Machine Quantity needed: Contactless IC Frequency Tester YFT-1, 1 set
