The present disclosure provides a strapping tool with a scaling assembly including a die assembly and a camshaft. The camshaft includes a cam that engages a cam follower of the die assembly. The cam is shaped so rotation of the camshaft during a scaling cycle causes the cam to force the die assembly to pivot from a home position to a sealing position to form interlocking cuts in overlapping strap portions. Continued rotation of the cam results in the die assembly pivoting back to its home position during an energy-release phase and a return phase of the sealing cycle. During the energy-release phase, the shape of the cam enables the die assembly to pivot a relatively small amount as potential energy is released. During the return phase after this energy is released, the shape of the cam enables the die assembly to pivot a relatively large amount.

Strapping tool with energy-release feature

Strapping tool

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a battery-powered stapling tool. A stapling tool includes a drive wheel, a slide comprising a first slide segment and a second slide segment, and a drive shaft receivable by the slide, wherein the drive shaft is coupled to and drivable by the drive wheel such that rotation of the drive wheel in a first rotational direction moves the drive shaft from the first slide segment to the second slide segment back to the first slide segment. The stapling tool further includes a lifting element, wherein the lifting element defines the slide and is drivable by the drive shaft, and an ejector coupled to the lifting element and drivable by the drive shaft.

Stapling device

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.

Strapping apparatus having a tensioning device

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a battery-powered stapling tool. In one embodiment, the stapling tool includes a drive wheel, a cam drivable by the drive wheel in a first rotational direction from a first position to a second position and back to the first position to carry out a staple-driving process, a motor operably connected to the drive wheel to drive the drive wheel, a lifting element defining a slide in which the cam is received, and an ejector connected to the lifting element and drivable by the lifting element between an ejector home position and an ejector ejection position. The slide has first and second slide segments that are transverse to one another. The lifting element is movable between a lifting-element home position and a lifting-element ejection position.
