The son of the founder of our company Mr Gert von Wolff sadly passed away on the 26th October 2009. He was 85 years old.

An order valued in excess of € 1m for a system to test electronic equipment was supplied to the China Academy of Railway Sciences (CARS) by REO for use in the development of the Olympic Fast Train. It is used for final testing of train components to verify performance compliance, which is critical with the train traveling at speeds up to 300 km / h. The REO test equipment was employed successfully for the initial six Fast Trains and is now being used for an additional 60 trains.

Its a question we get asked a lot

The problem (if it is one!) Is that REO consists of several divisions, each specializing in its own field of operations, with individual competencies and strengths. So a one-line answer which encapsulates all our capabilities is virtually impossible.

Limiting inrush current at the primary of transformers has always been a problem. Depending generally on the transformer type, quality and the voltage phase angle at start-up, the inrush current can be 15-20x nominally rated current for a short period of time.

In theDrive segment next few weeks we will be releasing a new guidebook on Variable Speed ​​Drive installations, with particular regard to EMC.

Our guidelines will basically disect the applicable points of EN61800-3 and provide the user with informed information so that they then may make the best choices to ensure that their installation complies with legislative requirements.

This month saw REO UK LTD celebrate its 20th anniversary.

For those of you who don't know, John Symonds started REO UK 20 years ago in a small office in Craven Arms. Time has passed and we are now seven people occupying about 10 times the floor space and John has been elevated to Chairman of REO Elektronik.

Vibratory feed controller provides solutions for Easiweigh's multi-lane / stand-alone machines

Easiweigh of Worcester specializes in the design and manufacture of custom-engineered weighing systems. Around 90% of the company's business is for the food industry, the remainder going to the hardware market for handling small components. All of the company's machines employ vibrating feeder systems to transport product between feed delivery systems and weighing stations. On many of these machines, the feeders are controlled by vibration controllers from REO UK.

'Good EMC Engineering Practices in the Design and Construction of Fixed Installation'

The title of a new 184-page handbook from REO UK. Normally sold for £ 10, it is available free to first 25 people that sign up as new members on-line in the 'Members Area'.

The proliferation of higher power and more feature packed Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) and endoscopy stack systems has meant that the necessity for safe operation in accordance to the mandatory EN60601 standard for electronic / electrical equipment used in the patient environment has driven power requirements for REO's range of Medical Isolation Transformers higher.
