Overview

GRIP Technologies is a privately owned company specializing in
design, engineering, and production services of
multi-disciplinary intelligent machines, robots, and
sophisticated image processing-based systems.

Since 1995, GRIP has supplied end-to-end solutions, applying its
experience to help the clients accelerate product design cycles
and reduce time to market. In highly-competitive markets, GRIP's
broad scope of experience, design-to-cost philosophy, and
customer-centric attitude increase project profitability and
sharpen competitive edge.

With capabilities ranging from electrical and mechanical design
to engineering, motion control, hardware and software, optical
design, and plastics, GRIP supplies leading global companies with
a wide variety of industrial systems.

GRIP has the experience and infrastructure, resources, equipment
and personnel to support the manufacturing of complex industrial
machines and systems. GRIP uses the most modern manufacturing
technologies - molds, extrusions, motion control, software,
optics, inspection, robotics, plastics - to produce the
highest-quality products with excellent cost-performance. GRIP
uses computerized design and documentation technologies to link
product files to the MRP and purchasing systems. This enables
optimal end-to-end control from order, through purchasing,
sub-assemblies and to finished product. GRIP also has the
business infrastructure necessary for large-scale production.

ISCAN is a revolutionary robotic workcell for unloading flat
glass sheets directly off the continuous float glass line. Until
ISCAN was presented, flat glass manufacturers have had to settle
for inflexible stacking systems that only handled stationary
glass sheets. Using a flexible and modular approach, ISCAN allows
flat glass manufacturers to improve quality, increase throughput,
and reduce operating costs.

Based on its powerful vision inspection and management software,
ISCAN enables on-the-fly glass size measurement, edge error
detection, crack and break detection, mark detection and numerous
other quality control and operational capabilities.

GRIP understands that design cannot be separated from function,
production, and ultimately, hands-on usability. GRIP's design
experts never forget that a product ultimately represents an
entire company - employees, investors, brand and image. GRIP
designs for maximum usability and impression - but also for
minimum manufacturing and operational cost. GRIP understands that

GRIP realizes that the business considerations - as much as the
technical - are crucial to effective optimization of production
costs. Recognizing importance of integration, GRIP focuses on
creation of true interdisciplinary teams with engineers in
different fields - plastics, electronics, electrical, control,
mechanical, optics, metal, and motion. This means that GRIP 's
clients can be assured that the end product meets the most
rigorous and professional engineering standards.
