How does a clip automation machine work?

Automated clip installation machines mechanize the placement and insertion of clips.  Instead of manual processes, clip machines use robotic fixtures and tooling to hold clips, orient them to their connection points on an assembly, move and press the clips into position, and confirm that the clips are properly attached upon completion. Advanced sensors and motion actuators align and press clips into place precisely to specification, and can print off quality control reports afterward that document that these specifications were fully achieved.
