Abstract
A tensioning arrangement is provided for applying a tensioning force to a strapping band. The tensioning arrangement includes a guide for the strapping band, a transporting device which can move the strapping band, and a drive for the transporting device, such that a predetermined tensioning force can be applied to the band. The arrangement is developed by a clamping device for fixing a section of the band during a tensioning phase, and by the transporting device, which can move the clamping device and the band section fixed therein, along a path during the tensioning phase for the purpose of applying the tensioning force. The arrangement further includes a device for detecting a parameter value corresponding to the tensioning force. The detecting device is connected to a control device which, when a predetermined limit value is reached, causes the transporting device to stop.
