In order to reach a high level of quality and to develop new products, extensive quality testing, quality assurance and highly sophisticated analysis techniques are always at the forefront of product development and improvement. An extensive repertoire of techniques, tests, inspections and security measures guarantee the highest quality level. A separate service team oversees the technologies and components to constantly optimise processes and products. Standards and certificates from renowned institutions demonstrate the technical quality efforts of REO.
Some examples of norms that REO complies: DIN EN ISO 9001:2008, DIN EN 60310/VDE Part 420/IEC 60310 and EN 15085-1 to -5.
Furthermore, many of the REO developments are patented ensuring that our intellectual property and product innovations are protected by law.
REO products are used in the most adverse conditions all over the world, in temperatures of more than 40 °C in deserts or at -30 °C in mountainous regions. It is essential that water, salt, corrosive media and mechanical influences such as vibrations or oscillations do not have a negative impact. REO’s heavy duty components have been specially designed to cope with these environmental conditions. The Moisture Protection System (MPS) protective coating is an essential element of REO’s insulation system and is one of the greatest USPs of REO’s components. Our specially developed MPS protective coating is available exclusively from REO.
Air cooled systems often have limitations, especially when the components must be compact. To guarantee efficient cooling, REO has developed a wide range of inductive and resistive components designed to be water cooled.
The use of a water cooling system allows optimal temperature characteristics to be utilised. In addition, the performance and lifetime of the component is improved. In the graphic on the right side you can see – recorded by a thermal imaging camera – the cooling performance of a water-cooled braking resistor. The entire body of the component is utilised in the cooling process.
REO products are used worldwide under the harshest conditions – at over 40 °C in deserts or at -50 °C in mountainous regions. Water, salt, corrosive media and mechanical influences such as vibrations or oscillations must not have a negative impact. REO components from the Heavy Duty range are specially designed for these environmental influences. Their special design ensures maximum protection against mechanical, chemical or biological influences and enables high functional reliability and a long service life. Thanks to our experience, REO products are known for being reliable even under the most adverse conditions.
Quality assurance is a top priority at REO. REO products only leave our premises with absolute assurance of quality and performance. In this way, we ensure consistent quality of all products, components and complete solutions and stand for what has always distinguished REO: High quality and robust, low-maintenance products. State-of-the-art measurement technology, always kept up to date, ensures the highest quality of our delivered products. With a clear conscience, we can assume long service lives of over 30 years in some cases thanks to these tests and inspections.
When electrical components are used in environments where powerful external influences may occur reliable protection is necessary to ensure trouble-free operation. To ensure safety of persons and systems, in arduous environments REO provide high Ingress Protection options. The company currently offers a broad range of components in protection classes up to IP 65. To achieve these high levels of protection, the electrical components are treated with epoxy resin in a vacuum-pressure process and provided with a partial or full casting.
REO products are available worldwide and in part on a daily basis under the most severe conditions in use. And whether at – 30 ° C in the mountains of the Rocky Mountains in Canada or at + 40 ° C in the deserts of Nevada in the USA, REO products are known to be able to rely on them even under the most adverse circumstances. And to guarantee this, we apply the highest standards and requirements for the production of our products and begin already in the early stage of the planning of products with extensive testing.
