GRIP
The Grip™ system is the tool to measure and evaluate the static and dynamic pressures and forces in gripping and grasping objects. Now available with VersaTek® technology.
Grip™ VersaTek system measures and records the dynamic pressures and forces your hands and fingers apply while grasping, gripping, holding, moving, lifting, and using objects. The system displays and records the hand and finger pressures applied during these activities and gives insight into these activities and the product.
The Grip system graphically displays and plots the forces and pressure distribution for different parts of the hand and fingers so you can analyze and quantitatively compare the grasping action and product designs from an ergonomic perspective. Whether used to design a more ergonomically friendly product, measure the pressures required to grasp objects or analyze the pressure needed to open, close, or lift items, the Grip system is an ideal tool for measuring and comparing grasping forces. The system is available tethered or untethered for increased mobility and range of assessment.
