REL, Inc. is a world-class manufacturer of LED lighting products for the Universe's most demanding applications. LED UV-A lighting solutions by REL are just plain tough. REL products survive 1000 g drops, ballistic impacts, and liquid submersion to work daily in the wettest, dirtiest, hottest, and toughest environments on planet Earth and beyond. Challenge: Bring REL Lamps to your work environment for use.

REL has developed the flicker free FLC-1600 adjustable focal length lighting system.  This system is configured with 240,000 lumens at 10 million candela, and allows the user to capture energetic events up to 100 feet away at millions of frames per second.   The FLC-1600 is for those who need to really reach out and light up an event that needs to be observed at distance due to operator safety or camera asset destruction concerns!

REL is recognized in the market as the premium standard in Automated NDT equipment. A Human Powered Automated Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) line was developed for the Warfighter under a USAF contract and is now available commercially to the NDT industry. The size of the FPI Model I2C systems available range in tank sizes from 2’x3’ to 4’x3’. All of these systems have the ergonomic roller height of 36” from the floor.

All of REL’s Glo-Black LED UV-A Inspection Lamps include a market leading 2-Year Warranty.  In the event that your lamp needs some attention after this warranty period, you may want to consider a complete overhaul and upgrade utilizing REL’s Lamp Refurbishment Program.

REL has grown accustomed to engineering solutions to meet the ever growing needs of the cleaning machine market. What type of Custom Clean Machine Solution can REL build for you?

The correct tool for the job. Having the right size tool is invaluable for most jobs. One does not pound in a tack with a sledgehammer, it is the same with dynamic testing.  Tailoring the desired energy for a given test can be done easily with the multiple options available from REL’s Bar Accelerator line up.  The energy capabilities range from ounces of force in the smallest accelerator up to 400,000 lbs. of force generated in the 3” accelerator. 

When manufacturing in Michigan was leaving in droves, small businesses kept their lights on by continuing to solve problems for their customers and getting technologies ready for the inevitable reshoring shift. REL, Inc. is living proof that high tech manufacturing never really left and there is a lot of room for growth. This growth is illustrated by REL’s recent transition into its newly completed 24,000 square feet addition, bringing its World Class Manufacturing and Engineering facility to over 32,000 square feet.

REL, Inc. is exhibiting at the Williston Basin Petroleum Conference May 11-13, 2021 in Bismarck, North Dakota at the Bismarck Event Center. REL is an Original Equipment Manufacturer located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. REL has expertise in automation controls, electrical/mechanical system integration, and advanced manufacturing.

Every once in a while, the REL LED UV-A lamp, like the human body, could use some 'new guts' to recover lost efficiencies. In the case of the lamp, unlike the body, it is painless to the user, which is great news! REL has eliminated the waiting room with the best lamp service in the world! Rejuvenate your lamp for about half the cost of a new one.

REL’s SURE-Speed - Faster than a speeding ‘bullet’! The average blink of an eye takes 100 milliseconds. A bullet at 1000 feet per second will travel 100 feet in ‘the blink of an eye’. Clearly the eye is not a very precise instrument to trigger dynamic events. REL created the SURE-Speed sensor for accurate triggering and velocity measurements with 100 nanosecond accuracy!

REL’s Glo-Black LED UV-A Inspection Lamps performance, rugged durability, extreme toughness, and proprietary technology can be described with one word, TOUGH. REL’s inspection lamps use the most recent in safe high yield LED UV-A technology. Each lamp module contains a single LED UV-A emitter with a built in electro-static discharge circuit all enclosed in a passively cooled IP67 machined aluminum housing to enable the lamp to perform in all situations paying little heed to surrounding conditions.

The Profusion X Gen 2 light module is the core of REL’s high intensity LED lighting solutions. This unit packs an extraordinary amount of power and versatility into a compact, durable housing that can withstand the abuse of any dynamic test lab. The machined aluminum housing is sealed and rated for submersion and vacuum environments while the generous mounting options ensure the modules can be positioned, mounted, and arrayed without hassle.

REL’s new Coho Capture software can be integrated into any current manual and semi-automated chemical processing system.  REL’s PC based software can define and store treatment recipes that assist the operator in process treatments without the need for individual timers and process sheets.  This system also gives the operators immediate feedback in the event of a process infraction, maximizing throughput and repeatability with any chemical processing system.
