How we use robot arms in our manufacturing process

How we use robot arms in our manufacturing process

 

 

Come and see how your favorite belts are made!  In this video, our engineers Amol and Jacob show the increasing importance of robots in GRIP6 Belts.

Robots have helped us automate and perfect the quality of our buckles. But robots are really only as good as the engineer who codes and develops the robot.  Not only have our robots saved us significant space and time but robots have also opened up a world of creative possibilities for different designs.

Thanks and congratulations to Robert R. for your question, which is answered in the video (so watch to see)!

We enjoy reading everyone's comments and questions, so thank you for sending those in and keep them up!  We look forward to making more of these videos and sharing this journey together with you.

'Till the next episode!

I assume color is added after the chamfing process. Are there certain colors that were tried at the beginning and didn’t work out?

It is always so cool to watch robots doing all these detailed machining tasks previously done by humans. Thank you Jacob and Amol for showing us the types of operations involved in the manufacture of the famous Grip6 buckles! I have worked with metalworking lathes back in the day and then CNCs and now fully autonomous robots and the this progression will, hopefully one day, free us from having to handle such arduous and sometimes dangerous operations.

Gerald Wiebe, GRIP6 made a custom buckle for me. Just submit a photo of what you’d like etched on a buckle. Turnaround time is awesome

Kia Ora Koutou, greetings from down under in New Zealand. Looks like you’ve opened up some great options for customization. I’m wondering who actually who actually put forward the designs you offer to everyone at present and how do you go about deciding on new designs?

Love the videos (and that grip 6 hoodie). Now that you have delved into the world of textiles with your socks, what’s next? I’d love to see an American made fitted hat!
