From Houston, Texas during the ASNT 2023 annual conferenceRichard Blaser from Inspenet had the pleasure of interviewing Craig Kangas, Sales Manager at REL, Inc. a Michigan firm specializing in advanced inspection tools and equipment.
A Unique Value Proposition
REL, Inc. prides itself on its American roots, with operations in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Their portfolio includes tools and equipment ranging from FPI and MPI for automated equipment to manual lines. In addition, they have products for chemical etching.
UVA Lamps: Robustness and Reliability
One of the stars of their product line is the UVA lamp, designed for both MPI and dependency inspections. These lamps are not only strong and durable, but are also subjected to extreme tests, such as being run over by forklifts, to ensure their endurance. In addition, with a strategic partnership with Milwaukee, they guarantee the quality and durability of the batteries that power these tools.
New Products, Same Commitment
Craig introduced us to one of their new products: the Air Start Test Panel. This tool addresses a growing need in the industry due to a shortage of similar panels. In addition, he showed us a versatile flashlight, perfect for tight spaces and hands-free applications, and the inspection table, an all-in-one solution that includes multiple inspection lights and is height adjustable.
