Automatic grafting machine ClipLine

with digital imaging

Overview
The ClipLine is a high-speed rootstock cutting machine designed for nursery and propagation lines. It cuts rootstocks at the correct angle and can process up to 4,000 plants per hour using integrated vision systems and robotic handling. The unit is modular and can be expanded into the GraftLine family for automated grafting workflows.

Description

• Fast return on investment: typical payback period of 3–4 years based on throughput and labor savings.
• Consistent output: vision-guided cutting and robotic handling deliver uniform results across batches.
• Improved hygiene: reduced manual handling lowers contamination risk during clipping operations.
• Proven development: product based on approximately 10 years of R&D in automated grafting processes.
• Modular design: add functions or integrate with GraftLine for fully automated grafting.

Additional information
ClipLine combines advanced vision technology with robotic precision to ensure reliable, repeatable cutting at high throughput. The machine supports integration into existing propagation lines and offers demo video material for operator training and workflow validation.
