Abstract
A wrapping machine has a plurality of movable elements which move in predetermined ways to perform a wrapping operation. Control of the movements of at least some of the elements is performed using a pulse generator for synchronization and a control circuit which receives the pulses from the pulse generator. The control circuit comprises a computer having a suitable working program and peripherals connected to the computer and operating the associated element. Each peripheral comprises a processor controlled by the computer and a step-by-step motor which is controlled by the processor and which is operatively connected to the associated element to move the element.
