From 1 and 0 to 30 Years of Service Life
How modern computer technology makes REO products last longer
With the help of state-of-the-art computer technology, our development departments are able to simulate the holistic range of requirements for our components in advance. This technology not only saves development time, material and budget, but also increases the safety of the products. Testing peak loads, heat conduction, heat radiation and extreme parameters in reality to the extent that modern simulation makes possible is hardly feasible. However, service life calculations for screws and weld seams or investigations into the effects of cyclical loads can also be carried out using modern engineering programs. This significantly increases the quality of our products.
From simulation to production
The practical applications of our components show us that these simulations are important and necessary. REO products are used worldwide, sometimes on a daily basis, under the harshest conditions.
To ensure that the finished product can actually withstand the simulated conditions in reality in the long term, we set the highest standards and requirements for the quality of the manufacture of our products. The life cycle costs, which are a reason for purchase for many of our customers, are comparatively low thanks to the high quality, the components used and the associated lower maintenance intervals. REO customers consequently benefit from an efficient product with low service costs over its entire service life.
Measurements confirm and guarantee compliance with the requirements
Whether the product actually complies with the required values calculated in the simulation is checked in production using state-of-the-art measurement technology. This includes shock and vibration tests, salt spray tests, cold and heat tests and tests for water tightness or fire protection. REO products consequently only leave our premises with the highest 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. With a clear conscience, we can assume long service lives of sometimes over 30 years thanks to these tests and controls.
