Micron-tolerance handling, reconfigured in software.
Delicate, micron-tolerance, ESD-sensitive work on high-mix lines where product cycles turn over faster than fixed automation can be paid back.
The work is changing faster than you can staff it.
The dexterous, high-mix, contact-rich jobs are exactly the work classical automation was never built to hold — and the people who used to absorb it are getting harder to find.
Reshoring raises the stakes
CHIPS-driven reshoring is standing up domestic board and semiconductor capacity faster than skilled hand-assembly labor can be hired, making flexible automation the only path to qualify new high-mix lines on schedule.
Labor is scarce and costly
Precise, ESD-disciplined manual work is hard to staff and harder to retain, and turnover on delicate tasks drives defect rates and scrap on parts that are expensive to lose.
Miniaturization punishes error
As geometries shrink, tolerances and contact forces leave no margin; a single mishandled board or die carries high unit cost, so consistent force-controlled handling protects yield directly.
The contact-rich jobs on a electronics & semiconductor line.
One cell, reconfigured per part — not a new machine for every job on the floor.
PCB handling
Move bare and populated boards between magazines, conveyors, and fixtures without flex or edge contact.
Connector and cable mating
Align and seat fine-pitch connectors and ribbon cables with force feedback to confirm a full seat.
Component placement
Place and insert connectors, modules, and odd-form parts that pick-and-place machines cannot handle.
Enclosure fastening
Drive and torque screws to spec on housings and shields, verifying seating and thread engagement.
Conformal coat and dispense
Apply conformal coating, adhesive, or thermal compound along controlled paths at consistent bead and volume.
Wafer and tray handling
Transfer wafers, JEDEC trays, and carriers between cassettes and tools under cleanroom-grade contact control.
One cell. Assembly, inspection, finishing.
Qualified off-site. Running in two weeks.
The slow, hard engineering happens on our floor — so the cell arrives tested and dialed in instead of tying up your team for months. A new part is a reconfiguration, not a rebuild.

Bring a Relling workcell to your floor.
We started Relling to help American manufacturers make more of what this country needs. We'll scope a single cell to your parts, qualify it before it ships, and stand behind it on your floor.
