Griffin Motion is committed to providing superior precision motion control solutions to our OEM customers in the semiconductor manufacturing, life sciences, electron microscopy, digital imaging, research and development industries and more. We use the latest tools and technology available. By maximizing the design and manufacturing process we are able to utilize components to their fullest potential to provide cost effective solutions to challenging motion problems.

We achieve our goals by following 4 simple steps. First we ascertain an understanding our customer’s applications and motion control needs. Second, we work closely with our customer to develop a detailed product specification, identifying what is important while recognizing what is not. Communication with our customers is essential to designing and building a system that will provide excellence. Thirdly, we determine the correct solution to the problem and work with the customer to ensure a correct fit. Finally, we utilize superior proprietary manufacturing and assembly techniques along with attention to detail and thorough testing to complete the manufacture of our stages.

Our commitment to quality and excellence shows in every single customer interaction and product that we deliver.

Support

The continued success of Griffin Motion depends on the success of our customers. We understand the value of support from our own vendors and are committed to providing the highest level of support possible to our customers.

Customer Communication

Our growing list of satisfied customers hinges on our ability to ask the right questions and listen to the answers. We commit the time and resources to fully understand our customers’ applications and problems to ensure the correct solution.

Engineering and Design

Griffin Motion’s engineering team utilizes SolidWorks Premium 2007 3D CAD software for design and development. The seamless integration of COSMOS Professional validation software allows us to maximize designs by evaluating component thermal and strain properties for improved product accuracy. This allows us to minimize time to market and increase product performance.

Process Control

Quality, reliability and consistency are keys to success for OEM products. Thorough documentation of design, manufacturing, assembly and testing procedures are the foundation of Griffin Motion’s superior products. Quality measurements are taken throughout the manufacturing and assembly process to ensure the outcome of the final product.

Vendors

We understand the value of a strong vendor relationship. We depend on our vendors to support our manufacturing facility for quality and on time delivery. We draw from the valuable experience and knowledge that our vendors provide. We are continuously evaluating their performance to be sure that they can provide the best solutions.

Employees

We value our employees because they are the biggest component to our success. Griffin Motion employs highly trained and motivated technical and management staff. We are located in close proximity to Research Triangle Park and North Carolina State University. These high tech areas of research and development allow us to recruit the most talented individuals from the high tech sector in one of the best places to live and work in the U.S.A.

Manufacturing

Griffin Motion’s dedicated prototype manufacturing cell provides quick turn around times on new designs and custom products. Both prototype and production manufacturing utilize the benefits of CAM Works for CNC part programming.

Assembly

A significant portion of our competitive advantage lies in our proprietary assembly techniques. Griffin Motion invests time and resources in the development of assembly fixtures, tooling and written procedures. We design custom assembly fixtures for each new stage to help improve quality and reduce employee fatigue. The level of precision found in our products depends on our repeatable, well documented assembly methods.

Latest Test and Calibration Equipment

Griffin Motion employs the latest technology for calibration of their stages from one of the world leaders in metrology. Our Renishaw ML10 Gold Standard Laser interferometer and supporting optics allow full characterization of our stages before shipment. It also allows us to calibrate our production tooling periodically to ensure quality.

Correct Testing Procedures

Griffin Motion ensures that our testing methods meet the needs of our customers. We work closely with our customers when developing a new testing protocol. When appropriate we will purchase the same testing material that our OEM customers utilize to confirm 100% acceptance rate of newly shipped stages.
