A strapping device includes a handle, a body, and an actuator. The handle includes an input device and a switch, the input device spaced from the switch by a biasing element that applies a bias force to the input device. The input device moves from a first state spaced from the switch to a second state contacting the switch responsive to receiving a force greater than the bias force. A circuit of the switch is closed responsive to the input device moving from the first state to the second state. The switch outputs an actuation signal responsive to the circuit being closed. The body includes a tensioner and a base including a strap receiver opposite the tensioner. The actuator moves the tensioner from a first tensioner position to a second tensioner position further from the strap receiver based on a movement force greater than the bias force.

A method for packing tubes or cans is proposed which arrive continuously from a production line and are taken over by a transport unit by means of a grouping unit. The transport unit transports the tubes or cans in a desired formation into a retaining hoop of a strapping unit, wherein the retaining hoop is able to grip the formation in a pincer-like movement, whereupon the formation is strapped using a plastic band and transported further. The transport is achieved by means of two spike plates which are used alternately.

It provides a reinforcing bar binding machine capable of surely wrapping and binding a wire to a binding object. The reinforcing bar binding machine includes a magazine in which two wires are housed so as to be drawable, a curl guide unit which winds the arranged wires around the reinforcing bar, by the operation of feeding the parallel wires at the curl guide unit to wind around the reinforcing bar, a wire feeding unit which to wrap around the reinforcing bar with the wires wound around the reinforcing bar, and a binding unit which twists a intersecting portion between one end side and the other end side of the wire wound around the reinforcing bar.
