Reliant Systems, Inc. is a vertically integrated designer and manufacturer of high precision motion systems. We specialize in custom, easy to integrate OEM motion assemblies that have been designed for a customer's specific application.

Our positioning stages are commonly used in metrology inspection, laser processing, semiconductor inspection, medical & life sciences, additive manufacturing/3D printing, aerospace & defense, optics & photonics, and automotive industries.

Besides manufacturing products of our own design, we also offer build-to-print contract manufacturing for customers who have their own design and want to outsource production. Our expertise and experience building precision motion hardware, along with our ability to measure performance, ensures that we meet all specifications and requirements.

 

History

Reliant Systems, Inc. was founded in 2004 to support several OEM precision motion customers and continues to grow by supporting existing customers, identifying and designing solutions for real-world applications of newfound customers, and remaining agile/expansive in product and service offerings to meet the demands of the industries supported.

Reliant Systems, Inc. continues to offer competitive lead times, superior pricing, and unmatched quality with immense focus on OEM customers looking for customized, easy-to-integrate motion assemblies configured specifically for their application.

 

Our Team

Backed by a legacy of experience dating back to the mid-1990s, our team members remain our most critical asset. Our organizational leaders recognize the importance of our team members and remain devoted to fostering an innovative & collaborative environment designed to stimulate individual & team development. Embodying our guiding principles of trust, teamwork, customer service, commitment to quality, & entrepreneurial spirit, we continue to support one another and exceed customer expectations while remaining committed to our organizational culture and values.

 

Facilities

Precision

Reliant Systems, Inc. & Dynamic Precision Manufacturing relocated operations just north of the Twin Cities metropolitan area in 2019. This state-of-the-art, 40,000-square-foot fully integrated facility houses our production & testing capabilities including over 11,000-square-feet of Class 10,000 cleanroom. With increased production, manufacturing, and administrative space, Reliant Systems, Inc. and Dynamic Precision Manufacturing remain the market leader in turnkey products while strategically positioned for future growth.

Industrial

Driven by a wide range of customers seeking manufacturing/assembly environments that do not require industry-leading cleanroom facilities, standards, and practices, Reliant Systems, Inc. has expanded into industrial contract manufacturing by opening an 8,000-square-foot facility dedicated to fulfilling customer demands.

Capabilities

Reliant Systems, Inc. is a vertically integrated designer and manufacturer of high precision motion systems. We specialize in custom, easy to integrate OEM motion assemblies that have been designed for a customer's specific application.

Modifications

When one of our existing stages is close to being the right solution for a customer’s application, our experienced engineering team can make appropriate modifications to make it the perfect solution.  Modifications to an existing product will save time and money for our customers when a completely new design may not be needed.  We take pride in providing our customers with a plug-and-play solution that is performance tested to ensure a smooth transition into their application.

 

Design & Prototype

Custom OEM precision motion assemblies are our specialty. We have the knowledge, experience, tools, and flexibility to offer application specific assemblies comprised of standard products or completely unique designs. Reliant Systems clients can communicate directly with our engineers to ensure an iterative dialogue exists throughout the design process. This will ensure that your motion solution fits seamlessly into your system and that we hit your motion and cost goals.

Also, to save time and money, when one of our standard stages is close to being the right solution for a customer’s application, our experienced engineering team can make a few modifications to make it the perfect solution.

Design tools:

  • SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD
  • SOLIDWORKS Simulation Professional
  • SOLIDWORKS Motion

 

Assembly

From manufacturing the parts, through the assembly/build process, we use skilled and experienced technicians along with a controlled network to ensure only current release documentation is being used for every step. Tolerances can add up unless you pay attention, so all of our workstations include AA grade granite surface plates, squares, and parallels along with high res electronic indicators to track critical dimensions throughout the process to minimize any additive errors. Our application engineering team will ensure that your project or application build is completed to your specifications.

Build competency:

  • All supporting docs on controlled network
  • Preload and tolerance testing
  • Cost and schedule targets

 

Testing

Performance validation is a proven process with Reliant Systems. The investment in several metrology tools ensures every motion assembly meets exacting standards. 100% of our products shipped have been tested to conform to our customers specifications. RSI is a market leader in reliability and quality having won several OEM supplier awards with some of the semiconductor industry leaders.

Test protocols:

  • Supporting test results docs
  • Linear: yaw, pitch, straightness and flatness of travel, accuracy, and bidirectional repeatability
  • Rotary: radial and axial error, wobble, rotation position accuracy, and position repeatability
Validation
  • Performance: We can help characterize the performance of your current system using cutting edge simulation, testing, and analytical techniques.
  • Testing: With a full suite of laser measurement equipment and control solutions, we provide services including 6 degrees of freedom measurements and motion profile characterization.
  • Analysis: Customized reporting and recommendations developed from performance characterization and testing to aid with system, component, and process implementation.

 

Design/Re-Design
  • New Product Introduction: Alleviating customer capacity constraints by assisting with new product designs and improving time to market. This could include modeling, drawings, and prototyping.
  • Modifications: Updating existing systems to meet market demands.
  • Performance: Design recommendations to improve performance.
  • Cost Savings/Lead Time: Identifying, recommending, and qualifying alternate solutions to reduce cost and shorten lead time.

 

Simulation
  • Vibration/Frequency: Characterize vibration modes and frequencies of mechanical components.
  • Mechanical Deformation: Characterize deformations under load conditions and system constraints.
  • Thermal Modeling: Characterize heat production and distribution within a system and provide recommendations.

Besides manufacturing products of our own design, we also offer build-to-print contract manufacturing solutions ranging from X-Y-Θ stage assemblies to desktop instruments to fully integrated wafer inspection platforms. Our integration capabilities consist of assembly, stage leveling, customer required testing, and troubleshooting.

Benefits of Contract Manufacturing:

  • Supplier management
  • Reduction in customer inventory
  • Reducing internal lead time
  • Alleviating customer capacity constraints

Driven by a wide range of customers seeking manufacturing/assembly environments that do not require industry-leading cleanroom facilities, standards, and practices, Reliant Systems, Inc. has expanded into industrial contract manufacturing by opening a second facility dedicated to fulfilling customer demands.

Our services include supplier/inventory management, manufacturing engineering support, assembly, customer specified testing, and necessary troubleshooting to provide quality turnkey solutions.

Benefits of Contract Manufacturing:

  • Supplier management
  • Reduction in customer inventory
