From the beginning of our most recent project with a Global Appliance manufacturer, our Glide-Line’s Product Specialist was engaged in the design problem solving offering viable options in the customized conveyor & belt material selection to meet the customers applications needs & challenges. Technical information & a staggered delivery kept the very aggressive project build and customer factory acceptance on time. The product quality & workmanship was very good & easy to work with. Glide-Line’s timely response to the customers implementation challenges were met with prompt responses & solutions. Glide-Line has a very good ‘user friendly’ professional working demeanor which translated into very positive results for Tech-Con Automation. "
- Nino LaDuca, President of Tech-Con Automation

“IMPACTwas easy to launch and update. It quickly led me in the direction I needed to define my design. I love having dead accurate CAD files with high detail. IMPACT takes it one step further in that I don’t have to re-download every time I have to make a change. I love having native Solidworks files to integrate into my designs.”
DeWayne Merritt, a 16 year Mechanical Tool Design Engineer for AutoLiv
“It was a big deal to be able to access what they needed in a short amount of time, and to have that come into SOLIDWORKS in native format, and then be able to configure it and make further changes.” - Jason Flynn, applications engineer and account manager at Mid-South Industrial Automation
Glide-Line leveraged the open SOLIDWORKS API, the GoAutomate open-source automation tool, and Microsoft Excel software to introduce IMPACT!, the industry’s first in-context conveyor configurator. It combines real-time access to solid modeling tools and snap-to mating functionality with prices, part numbers, and ordering capabilities.
The client needed a conveying solution integrated into their current facility. The over-sized product, an aircraft wing support beam, needed to be handled incredibly carefully to avoid product damage. Read the case study to find out how we found the solution for their issues.
