Precision CNC Cutting: Advancing Hypalon Tube Manufacturing

At Ribcollar, precision matters. Our investment in CNC fabric cutting is transforming the way we manufacture Hypalon tubes and military-grade RIB collars. With tighter tolerances and increased repeatability, we’re delivering greater consistency across every RIB retube, OEM supply, or specialist product like our self-righting bags. Whether it’s for police, defence, rescue, or commercial patrol craft, accuracy is everything.

CNC Technology in Marine Tube Manufacturing

Our new CNC fabric cutting machine streamlines the process of preparing Orca Hypalon and other premium-grade materials for tube production. The result? Cleaner seams, less waste, and uniform collars that meet commercial, defence, and military boat tube standards.

Repeatability and Quality for Every RIB Collar

This precision isn’t just about efficiency. It ensures repeatable performance across:

• RIB tube replacement projects

• High-demand commercial RIB fleets

• Military rib collars

• New OEM collars or replacement sponsons

These improvements reduce errors, cut down on build time, and allow our team to deliver accurate results faster and more reliably.

Supporting Advanced Systems Like Self-Righting Bags

Our work on self-righting systems benefits directly from this investment. CNC-prepared fabric panels ensure structural alignment and better integration of components like self-righting bags, grab handles, and reinforcement pads — all essential for rescue or patrol-ready craft.

Expanding Production Throughput for the Trade

With further equipment arriving later this year, we’re scaling to meet increased demand. Our trade clients — from commercial operators and OEMs to RIB repair centres — rely on us for responsive, flexible manufacturing and rigid inflatable boat repair services built around real-world operational requirements.
