A tool for sealing overlying courses of a strap that includes a gripping unit, a power supply unit detachably affixed to one end of the gripping unit, and a motor in the gripping unit. A cam is coupled to the motor and a notching unit is coupled to the cam by a plurality of linkages.

The present disclosure provides a strapping apparatus for strapping articles to be packaged with a strapping band. The strapping apparatus includes a band detection device configured to indicate that the band is in a non-positionally correct and/or a positionally correct position, depending on the embodiment.

An apparatus for tensioning a cable tape comprises a housing, a drive assembly, a capstan, and an optional cutting device. The drive assembly includes a driving member and a driven member slidably coupled to the driving member. A biasing element is coupled between the driving and the driven member and in a first operating mode, the driving member causes movement of the driven member little or no relative movement between two members. The capstan is rotatably coupled to the housing, and includes a gripping device to grip a cable tape and wrap the cable tape around an outer surface of the capstan as the capstan rotates. In a second operating mode, a tension force applied on the capstan by the cable tape that is greater than the biasing force allows relative movement between the driving member and the driven member.

A strapping apparatus for strapping articles with a strapping band having a tensioning device for imparting a band tension to a loop of the strapping band, the tensioning device including a driveable tensioning element provided for engaging the strapping band to impart a band tension. The strapping apparatus including a connecting device for generating a permanent connection, in particular a welded connection, at two regions, situated one above the other, of the loop of the strapping band. The strapping apparatus is configured to achieve the release of the tensioning element from the strapping band reliably to avoid or reduce adverse characteristics attributed to the release of the tensioning device from the band.

A binding machine includes a first body part having an operation part, a second body part having a feeding unit configured to feed a wire, a guide part configured to guide the wire to a surrounding of a binding object, and a twisting unit configured to twist the wire, thereby binding the binding object, an elongated connecting part configured to connect the first body part and the second body part, a first output unit configured to detect an operation on the operation part and to output a first signal, a second output unit configured to detect that the binding object is inserted in a feeding path of the wire and to output a second signal, and a control unit that controls the feeding unit and the twisting unit to execute a binding operation when the control unit detects the first signal and the second signal.

A structure for preventing the formation of a dead point for a cam wheel includes a driving wheel with a pressing portion provided at one side thereof for pushing a pushed portion of the cam wheel. When the cam wheel is moved over a distance while rotating simultaneously, a cam portion of the cam wheel pushes one end of the swinging piece. When the one end of the swinging piece is pushed to be apart from the outer periphery of the cam wheel, a restoring piece axially pushes the cam wheel back to its original position. A strapping device includes the above structure, a housing, a first transmission assembly, a second transmission assembly and a third transmission assembly. Tensioning of a circular strap, rapid friction bonding and cutting are sequentially performed by the transmissions of the first to third assemblies, respectively.

A strapping apparatus has a frame, a single drive motor carried on the frame and having an output shaft, a feed roller connected to the motor and rotatable on the frame, and a tightening roller connected to the motor and rotatable on the frame. A strap from a supply is spanned over and passes between the feed and tightening roller to the object. A lever is pivoted on the frame parallel to the feed and tightening axes for movement between two angularly offset end positions. A feed counter roller freely rotatable on the lever is engageable in one of the end positions with the feed roller to pinch and advance the strap toward the object, and a tightening counter roller rotatable on the lever is engageable in the other of the end positions with the tightening roller to pinch and pull the strap away from the object.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a strapping device configured to carry out a strap-attachment check cycle. After attaching leading and trailing strap ends of a strap to one another to form a tensioned loop of strap around a load, the strapping device is configured to carry out the strap-attachment cycle to test the strength of the attachment between the leading and trailing strap ends and to provide feedback as to whether the strap attachment is satisfactory.
