GRIP Epsilon SAVP
Model V4/GRIP/229/100

The GRIP Epsilon is a true commercial off the shelf (COTS) high performance rugged computer system which is targeted at applications that require high-end real-time processing in harsh environments within an extended operating temperature range.

The GRIP Epsilon combines the latest 4thd generation Intel Core i7 Mobile Processors with high performance Intel HD Graphics.

The GRIP chassis provides an IP67 sealed enclosure for the internal COTS hardware technology. Within the chassis a combination of convection and conduction cooling ensures minimal heat stress of the components.

Application areas of this technology include security, automotive, transportation, oil and gas, nuclear, military and aerospace sectors.

The GRIP architecture integrates the four key elements of embedded design:

  • Rugged Chassis
  • Sealed Conduction Cooled
  • Gripworkx™ Application Software
  • High-Spec Components
