How Glide-Line Works with

Design Engineers

 

If you choose to use IMPACT!, our Excel-based software that talks to Solidworks to build and price your own 3D models instantly, then our process starts there. After you assemble a starting point, you can engage with our team of engineers to add ideas and alternative options to your playbook to come up with the best solution possible for your project.

 

Solve Unique Layout Challenges Instantly

Our in-context configurator, IMPACT!, shows you all the options you can engage to create your own solution to layout challenges. It also includes dynamic pricing and modeling tools and works with SOLIDWORKS.

Get Started with IMPACT!

IMPACT-back-and-forth

  • EXACT DIMENSIONS: The solid mode, 3D models you receive are actually exact dimensions, so you can design around them.
  • SELF-SERVE: Skip the back-and-forth with a salesperson. Using IMPACT!, you can update 3D models, incorporate conveyors, and get pricing with the click of a mouse.
  • UPDATABLE MODELS: Conceptual models are quick using IMPACT!, and you can create them on the front-end of a project. 
  • INNOVATIVE OPTIONS: Glide-Line’s conveyors are unique solutions to problems we know today’s manufacturers need to solve. IMPACT! gives you the tools you need to explore these options for your client.

All the Extras You Need

We are design engineers ourselves and understand that you’ve got plenty to do!  We’ve made it easy to get the “accessories” you might need: the hardware, fasteners, and additional extrusions that all work with Glide-Line conveyors. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Configure your assembly in sections and let us handle the miscellaneous nuts and bolts.
