A guiding device for an agricultural baler having a frame includes a pressing means and a guiding means extending along the pressing means for leading a wrapping material to the pressing means. The guiding means is adjustably coupled to the frame via at least two resiliently pre-stressed bearing means.

The invention relates to a tying device of a type comprising: a work surface (10) comprising an opening (11) in the shape of a slot; a tying member (103) which can be activated so as to place at least one string (400) around an item (500) which is moving in a transfer direction (A) on a first side of the work surface (10), and to carry a portion of said string (400) to a second side of the work surface (10), forming at least one loop; and a knotting lip (55) capable of closing the loop with a knot on the second side of the work surface (10). The slot extends generally in the transfer direction (A), allowing a portion of the loop to pass through, but keeping the knot on the second side of the work surface (10) over at least a portion of the movement of the item (500).

A banding machine applies bands about objects for packaging, decorative, or other purposes. An object is banded with tape by: grasping a starting end of a tape extending from a tape roll between a first roller and a brake, with the first roller being situated adjacent the object alongside a second roller; orbiting the object with tape roll to apply the tape to the circumference of the object; during the orbit, pressing the starting end of the tape against the object with a wiper, and releasing the tape starting end from the brake; upon the tape's orbital approach of the tape starting end, receiving the tape over the first and second rollers; extending a knife between the first and second rollers to cut the tape, thereby defining a finishing end of the tape extending about the object; and pressing the finishing end of the tape against the object with a wiper.

An ultrasonic cable tie system is disclosed herein. The ultrasonic cable tie system includes a housing having a tying portion for receiving a bundle of wires to be tied into a cable. The tying portion has an aperture for dispensing a cable lacing filament from a filament spool and for receiving a free end of the cable lacing filament after being positioned around the bundle of wires. The ultrasonic cable tie system also includes a controller coupled to a tensioning member for tightening the cable lacing filament, an ultrasonic welder for fusing the cable lacing filament, and a filament cutting device for cutting the cable lacing filament. The ultrasonic cable tie system is activated by a system actuator causing the controller to secure the bundle of wires together into the cable with the cable lacing filament having a flat fused portion adjacent to a surface of the cable.

Disclosed is a tape packing apparatus and method. The tape packing apparatus including: a supporting frame; a drive unit configured to install on the supporting frame; a tape head pressing arm configured to install on the supporting frame and connected to the drive unit, and the drive unit configured to drive the tape head pressing arm to move to a packing position such that the tap head is pressed onto an object to be packed; a cutting module configured to install on the supporting frame and connected with the driving unit, and the driving unit is constructed to drive the cutting module to the packing position to cut the tape. The tape packing apparatus provided by the embodiment of the present invention has good packing effect, can effectively shortens the packing time, has high packing efficiency, and saves manpower and costs.
