The disclosure relates to an automatic bundling tool device (ABT) for bundling a bundling good by means of a one-piece-tie (OPT). In an aspect, an ABT includes: a holding unit configured to receive, hold, and release a respective OPT which is provided to the ABT from an external reservoir of OPTs; a linear motion guiding unit configured to linearly guide the holding unit in a longitudinal direction while moving between a receiving position where the holding unit receives, during intended use, the respective OPT and a releasing position where the holding unit releases, during intended use, the respective OPT; and a drive unit configured to move the holding unit along the linear motion guiding unit.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a strapping machine that includes a plurality of compact strap dispensers that collectively take up less space adjacent to the frame of the strapping machine and thus provide a strapping machine with an overall reduced footprint. In certain embodiments, the strap dispensers include a static dispenser frame and a coil carriage that supports a strap coil and that is movable relative to the dispenser frame between a strap-dispensing position and an extended position. In the strap-dispensing position, the strap dispenser can dispense strap from the strap coil. In the extended position, the strap coil is positioned clear of the dispenser frame and any adjacent dispensers to enable easy strap-coil replacement. In various embodiments, the strap dispensers include a quick-release retainer that retains the strap coil in place on the coil carriage while being quickly and easily removable for coil changes.
