IdentiQuik® Series couplings integrate RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) to automatically identify fluid characteristics or capture connection usage data before a connection is made. Hybrid Connectors allow fluid, air and electronics to be connected with one simple motion. These advanced connectors allow technicians and users to quickly change out or replace modular tools, umbilicals or hand pieces that require a combination of power, signal, air or fluids.
