A strapping machine may include a strap guidance frame having a strap guidance channel and a plurality of closure elements, which may be arranged in a distributed manner over the length of the channel and may be movable from a position closing the channel into a position opening the channel. The closure elements may be fixable in the position closing the channel by means of a closure force that is generated by a magnetic closure device. The wear of the closing elements of the strapping machine may be reduced compared to known strapping machines. The magnetic closure device may have a displacement means for displacing at least part of the magnetic closure device so that the closure force is cancelled or an opening force directed counter to the closure force is generated.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a mobile strapping device for strapping packaged products using a loop of wrapping strap. The strapping device includes a tensioning device for applying tension to the strap and a connecting device for connecting two overlapping portions of the strap. The tensioning device includes a rotatable tensioning wheel and a tensioning plate. The tensioning wheel is supported by a rocker that is pivotable to change a distance separating the tensioning wheel and the tensioning plate. The mobile strapping device includes a motor that is operably connectable to the rocker or the tensioning wheel such that the motor causes pivoting of the rocker or rotation of the tensioning wheel when operating in a first direction of rotation. In various embodiments, gearing, including a plurality of planetary gear sets, is used to operatively connect the motor to the rocker and the tensioning wheel.

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 strapping device including a tensioner operable to apply a strap tension to a loop of wrapping strap, a friction welder operable to produce a friction weld connection at two areas of the loop of wrapping strap disposed one on top of the other, a motor operable in a first rotational direction to drive the tensioner and in a second opposite rotational direction to drive the friction welder, and a control device. The control device is configured to, in response to receiving a first designated input: (1) operate the motor in the first rotational direction to drive the tensioner until a predetermined strap tension is reached in the loop of wrapping strap; and (2) afterwards, automatically operate the motor in the second different rotational direction to drive the friction welder to produce the friction weld connection.

Strapping machine tilting device control mechanism, including epicyclic transmission having a main axis and an internal crown, intermediate gears and external crown, pulling mechanism connected to intermediate gears to a tilting device tensioning roller to transmit movement of the gears around to the main axis to the tensioning roller, a tensioning wheel centered with the main axis constrained to the inner crown and connected to a strapping machine tensioning assembly to transmit tensioning wheel movement, locking device connected to the external crown, control device to interact with a strapping machine actuation lever, connected to the locking device to transmit actuation lever movement to the locking device, defining rest and operating positions, the locking device includes: ring centered with the main axis and integral with the external crown, and torsional spring between the tilting device and control device, centered with the main axis to tighten around the ring.

A binding wire supply system for a reinforcing bar binding machine for supplying binding wire to a reinforcing bar binding machine from the outside of the reinforcing bar binding machine that binds intersections of reinforcing bars with the binding wire, wherein the binding wire supply system includes a reel mounting unit on which a binding wire supply reel, which is arranged close to the reinforcing bar binding machine and supplies the binding wire to the reinforcing bar binding machine, is mounted; a binding wire adapter for introducing the binding wire supplied from the binding wire supply reel into a binding wire accommodating magazine of the reinforcing bar binding machine; and a binding wire insertion guide into which the binding wire is inserted from the reel mounting unit to guide the binding wire to the binding wire adapter.

A strapping machine and head are provided including a mounting base, a sealing assembly including a cutter for cutting the strapping tape and a sealing element for welding a strapping tape. The sealing assembly, which is slidably disposed on the mounting base, includes a first, second, and a third clamping mechanism, for clamping the strapping tape. A belt feeding assembly including a first motor, a driving wheel and a guide block fixedly disposed on the mounting base. The driving wheel rotatably disposed on the mounting base and an arc-shaped belt feeding channel is formed between the driving wheel and the guide block. The first motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, and a driving assembly drives the sealing assembly close to or away from the driving wheel. A balanced tension is applied to a strapping tape through a strapping machine head to improve the strapping quality of the strapping machine.
