A strapping system and method for automatically applying strapping to at least one associated object, such as a roll of coiled material having a void. The system includes a first end effector and second end effector, each end effector mountable to a robotic arm and including at least a portion of a chute, the end effectors movable relative to each other when mounted to a robotic arm such that the chute portions of each end effector can be selectively brought together in a plurality of orientations to define a generally continuous chute loop through which a strapping material can be advanced to surround the at least one associated object located at least partially within the chute loop.

Robotic strapping machine and method

A strapping system and method for automatically applying strapping to at least one associated object, such as a roll of coiled material having a void. The system includes a first end effector (E) and second end effector (E), each end effector (E,E) mountable to a robotic arm (A,A) and including at least a portion of a chute, the end effectors (E,E) movable relative to each other when mounted to a robotic arm (A,A) such that the chute portions of each end effector can be selectively brought together in a plurality of orientations to define a generally continuous chute loop (CH) through which a strapping material can be advanced to surround the at least one associated object located at least partially within the chute loop.
