Services

REI AUTOMATION is built on the foundation of providing elegant, robust designs by utilizing a team-approach to MACHINE DESIGN. REI uses the latest 3D solid-modeling CAD technology for all mechanical designs, including SolidWorks, MicroStation, and ProEngineer. This capability provides our customers with the ability to visualize a machine system before the first component is manufactured. As examples of our breadth of experience, REI has developed a series of extremely large, powerful machine tools used for NUCLEAR powerplant decommissioning, and assembly lines for assembling AUTOMOTIVE brake components.

REI provides state-of-the-art ELECTRICAL CONTROL SYSTEMS for our turn-key machines and as retrofits to replace or upgrade obsolete control systems. REI’s staff is experienced in electrical system design, PLC programming, electric motor drive system installation, and ELECTRIC PANEL FABRICATION. Our machine systems often utilize a PC or PLC-based touchscreen operator interface, that has been custom designed for the application.

REI has in-house capabilities to provide an entire turn-key machine system, including PRECISION MACHINING and ELECTRO-MECHANICAL ASSEMBLY. REI partners with a large network of suppliers to provide specialty services such as laser cutting, waterjet cutting, CNC machining, plating, and precision fabrication.

REI is proud of its staff of highly experienced engineers and designers who enjoy the creative collaboration of using our customer’s product and process knowledge to develop great machine systems.
