REL human-driven FPI lines were built on our reputation as the premium automated systems provider for the non-destructive testing industry.
REL human-driven fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) non-destructive testing lines are field-tested modular systems built to rigorous specifications for the American Warfighter and can be found in some of the harshest environments on the planet. The core of these systems is an engineered focus on robustness and precision. Increasing facility throughput through ergonomic considerations, reducing physical footprints by station packaging, and ensuring reliability while maximizing operator safety are design constraints that are observed on all REL projects.
Each human-driven line features single-point electrical and fluid lockouts on each station, certifiable gages mounted on quick disconnect fittings, and integrations for overhead cranes or corrosion-resistant manual rollers to perform all processing to ASTM E1417 requirements or other processing specifications.
Each system also features our REL LED UV-A lamps that we custom-developed for the non-destructive testing industry. We searched the globe for the best non-destructive testing lamp; we found it in our own shop’s LED Lamp Division!
Each rinse and inspection booth includes LED UV-A inspection lamps that meet both Airbus and Boeing background UV-A requirements of 300 microwatts per cm2. Background visible lighting is limited to 2 foot candles with the use of surrounds in the rinse station and inspection station.
The REL FPI Model MLF250 is the toughest, most space efficient, and most MIL Tested FPI system on the planet. This system replaced the Legacy System for the US Navy.
The human-driven MLF250 fluorescent penetrant inspection (FPI) line is a modular system precisely engineered for rigorous military requirements with the highest space efficiency commercially available.
The REL FPI Model I2C line was developed for the US Air Force. This line has redefined human-driven FPI processes.
The I2C FPI equipment comes in 3 sizes and is commercially available to private industry. This system includes ALL components to start FPI testing upon installation.
REL Human Driven FPI Lines
REL, Inc. Human Driven (Manual) FPI Lines provide a flexible, operator-controlled solution for applications where full automation isn’t required. Designed with modularity and ergonomics in mind, these systems give operators direct control of the FPI process while accommodating a wide range of part sizes, production volumes, and process requirements.
Human Driven Lines: The Modular Powerhouse
“Robustness meets Ergonomics.” Our Human Driven lines are built on the reputation of our premium automated systems and scaled for manual operation.
Human Driven FPI Lines (e.g., Model I2C, MLF 250) Feature Overview
- PRIMARY DRIVER: Operator-Led: Parts are moved manually or via manual assist (cranes/rollers).
- CONTROL SYSTEM: Manual valves/switches with certifiable gauges. "LOCKTIME" can be integrated with your system.
- CONTROL SYSTEM: Manual valves/switches with certifiable gauges. "LOCKTIME" can be integrated with your system.
- REPEATABILITY: Process repeatability is maintained through standardized procedures, timers, gauges, and controlled process parameters.
- ENVIRONMENT: Built for extreme/harsh environments (MIL-STD-810G tested).
- FOOTPRINT: Compact and modular; "Station Packaging" reduces footprint.
- KEY BENEFIT: Robustness, mobility, reliability, and ease of use.
Choose a REL Human Driven FPI Line when you need a modular, operator-controlled solution that is reliable, adaptable, and built to perform in demanding work environments.
