RoboTape & RoboClip – Automate 2025

Visit the RoboTape and RoboClip booth at Automate 2025 to experience the next generation of automation technology in action. We're proud to launch our latest innovation—RoboClip, a brand-new automated clipping solution designed to streamline fastener installation in automotive manufacturing and beyond.

With RoboClip and RoboTape, we offer two complementary solutions that tackle traditionally manual, repetitive processes with unmatched precision and reliability. Whether you're automating adhesive tape application or plastic fastener clipping, we provide the smartest, fastest path to higher throughput, improved quality, and a safer, more efficient production line.

RoboClip, launching at Automate 2025, is built for high-speed, consistent clipping in automotive applications—perfect for push-in fasteners, cable retainers, and other snap-fit components. Engineered for seamless robot integration, RoboClip reduces cycle time, eliminates ergonomic challenges for workers, and ensures reliable, repeatable clip placement across every part. It’s the ideal solution for OEMs and Tier 1s looking to automate critical fastening operations with ease.

RoboTape remains the industry’s leading solution for automated tape application, offering advanced capabilities for applying pressure-sensitive adhesives—including 3M™ VHB™ tapes—to complex surfaces. Our system is designed for full integration with most robot and cobot platforms and excels in high-mix, high-volume environments. With a remote bulk spool feeder that enables zero-downtime tape replacement and a compact, contour-following tape apply head, RoboTape can handle intricate geometries with speed and precision.

Developed in partnership with 3M and trusted by leading manufacturers worldwide, RoboTape is proven to increase quality, reduce rework, and unlock new design possibilities through consistent, repeatable adhesive application.

Both solutions are backed by nearly 35 years of automation expertise from Innovative Automation Inc., a global leader in custom automation. Over the decades, we’ve solved complex manufacturing challenges across industries and recognized the need to automate labor-intensive, repetitive processes like taping and clipping. With technical tapes and fasteners playing an increasingly critical role in modern manufacturing, RoboTape and RoboClip help companies stay ahead by optimizing these essential processes.

At our booth, you’ll see live demos of both systems and have the chance to speak with the team behind the innovation. Whether you're looking for a fully customized taping solution or a standard clipping system ready for deployment, our technologies are designed to elevate your production capabilities and future-proof your operations.
