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.

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.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a press-type strapping machine configured to strap a load when both the height of the load falls within a target height range and the compressive force applied to the load falls within a target compressive force range.

Strapping device including a frame defining supporting area for placing thereon a strap being processed, tensioning assembly to lock and tension, on command, at least part of the strap and at least one rocker defining main axis and at least one tensioning wheel defining its own tensioning axis, which can be rotated around the tensioning axis and integrally with the rocker around the main axis relative to the frame, a welding assembly for joining, on command, at least two edges of the strap, and at least a first drive member to actuate at least part of the tensioning assembly, and first drive mechanism operatively connected to at least the first drive member and including at least a first drive assembly The first drive assembly moves the tensioning wheel around the tensioning axis even when the tensioning roller is moved around the main axis.

A fusion welding device, comprising an operating component, a fusion welding work motor, a fusion welding work moving assembly, and a fusion welding work fixed assembly, the fusion welding work motor being connected with the fusion welding work moving assembly by means of a transmission mechanism. The fusion welding device is provided with a central connection component that is able to rotate, and the central connection component is provided with a first input position, a second input position, and a locking structure connection position. The present fusion welding device is able to accomplish automatic band pressing and fusion welding work by means of a relatively simple structure and by means of differently transmitted front and back connections and changes in engagement.

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 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.
