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.

Strapping device having a pivotable rocker

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.

Strapping device

Strapping machine tilting device control mechanism including epicyclic transmission having a main axis and an internal crown, intermediate gears and an external crown, a pulling mechanism connected to intermediate gears to a tilting device tensioning roller to transmit movement of the gears around to the main axis to the tensioning roller, a tensioning wheel centered with the main axis constrained to the inner crown and connected to a strapping machine tensioning assembly to transmit tensioning wheel movement, a locking device connected to the external crown, control device to interact with a strapping machine actuation lever connected to the locking device to transmit actuation lever movement to the locking device defining rest and operating positions, the locking device includes: ring centered with the main axis and integral with the external crown, and torsional spring between the tilting device and control device, centered with the main axis to tighten around the ring.

Control mechanism for tilting machine of strapping machine

A strapping apparatus for strapping articles with a strapping band having a base plate provided for arranging on an article, a tensioning device with which a band tension can be applied to the strapping band, and a sealing device for permanently connecting two band layers to each other.

Strapping apparatus

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.

Strapping device including: frame defining supporting area to place thereon a strap being processed, tensioning assembly to lock and tension, on command, at least part of the strap, welding assembly for joining, on command, at least two edges of the strap, a first drive member to actuate at least part of the tensioning and welding assemblies, and second drive mechanism operatively connected to at least the first drive member, at least part of the tensioning assembly and the welding assembly, and including a first element to carry out at least first and second movements, the first element defining an intermediate position relative to the frame starting from which the drive member actuates at least part of the tensioning assembly if the first element carries out the first movement and alternately actuates at least part of the welding assembly if the first element carries out the second movement.
