Versatile Design for Arrowhead-Style Clips

RoboClip is engineered to accommodate a wide range of arrowhead-style clips, offering flexibility to work with varying sizes, colors, and types. These clips, often referred to as A Clips, V Clips, Bird’s Beak, IP Clips, Grille Clips, and Instrument Panel Clips, are widely used in automotive interiors and exteriors. They securely fasten plastic panels to substrates without the need for additional mechanisms.

What’s Slowing you down?

Legacy clip insertion systems often introduce hidden inefficiencies that impact your uptime, consistency, and quality.

Inconsistent Clip Quality

  • flash, sink, short shots

Part Variation

  • cooling/shrink, bent towers

Q1: What is an automotive clip machine?

A: An automotive clip machine is specialized automation equipment designed to feed and install plastic or metal clips used in trim panels, bezels, instrument panels, and other vehicle parts. Instead of relying on manual labor or traditional bowl feeders, RoboClip provides a robotic clip installation system that improves speed, accuracy, and reliability in automotive assembly lines.

Q2: How does RoboClip compare to traditional bowl feeder systems?

A: Traditional clip bowl feeders are prone to jams, high maintenance, and downtime, especially when clips are supplied in bulk. RoboClip replaces the need for bowl feeders with a drum feeder and robotic installation process, ensuring smooth clip singulation and installation. This reduces feeder jams, cuts setup time, and delivers higher uptime for automotive manufacturers.

Q3: Can a robotic clip installation machine reduce costs?

Yes. By automating clip installation, manufacturers eliminate repetitive manual work, reduce errors, and minimize production stoppages from feeder jams. RoboClip’s efficient clip feeding system improves overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), lowers labor costs, and delivers a fast ROI for automotive assembly programs.
