Clip Compatibility

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.

Is My Clip Compatible with RoboClip?

Most clips with a pointed shape are compatible with the standard RoboClip machine. Our design allows for easy integration of new clips. If we don’t already have a tool for your clip – we can manufacture one! Whether you’re working with unique shapes or sizes, minor modifications can ensure a perfect fit. Contact us today to discuss your application, and we’ll guide you through the process.

Can RoboClip Handle Other Clip Types?

Absolutely! With over three decades of experience in robotic clip automation, our custom machine-building team at Innovative Automation thrives on solving complex challenges. Connect with one of our application specialists to explore how RoboClip can streamline your production process.
