MAJOR COMPONENTS
In Fig 1.thru 4 the major components of the
machine and the strapping head are
shown in detail.
A detailed description of additional
systems and specific components follows.
STRAP DISPENSER:
The dispenser supplies strapping material
to the strapping head .It is located inside
the cabinet on the lower left-hand side. A
friction brake is provided to limit over-run of
strap.
1. GRIP-The grip holds the lead end of the
strap beneath the anvil while the
remainder of the strap is being tension
around the package.
2.STRAP FEED AND TENSION-Both feed
and tension are achieved by two sets of
gear rollers powered by an electric
motor by means of a drive-belt and
slip-clutch system.
An operator controlled adjustable timer
controls the duration of strap feed. When
the set time for feeding is up, the timer
stops feeding strap. If additional feed is
required beyond that determined by the
timer setting, jog feed will be facilitated
by pushing the “Jog” feed button on the
operator’s control panel.
3.WELDING AND CUT-OFF-Welding of
the strap ends and cutting of the strap
supply are facilitated in this process.
4.PACKAGE REKEASE-After a short
weld-cool period (necessary to avoid
welded ends from popping open) the
package is released.
HOT KNIFE. The “Hot Knife” is
centrally located at the front of the
strapping head Movement of the
knife is controlled by a cam.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, An all
electrical system using solid state
technology supplies continual power
supply to the electrical components
within the machine. Using simple to
insert circuit boards provides for
safe and fast maintenance free
operation.
OPERATOR CONTROLS. The
Electrical Control Panel consists of
the “Main Power ON-OFF Switch”
“Feed Length Timer,” “Reset Switch”
and “Feed Length Switch” (Jog
Feed).

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
GENERL 1. NEUTRAL POSITION. When the strap is
initially threaded through the machine. It
enters the head under the strap guide and
over roller D. between two sets of feed and
tension rollers and on through a slot in the
end gripper. It then passes beneath the
anvil. Over the welding clamp and holding
gripper and out into the strap channel on the
left-hand access to it,
The strapping cycle can be divided into three
distinct operations:
a. Grip and tension.
b. Weld, cut, and release.
c. Feed.
The following descriptions refer to Figures 13
through 18. Note that both the mechanical
and the control function of the micro switches
are described.

2. ENCIRCLING PACKAGE; TRIPPING LS1.
Grip and tension is initiated by the operator
who encircles the package with the strap and
inserts the strap end into the slot of the upper
strap guide on the right-hand end of the
machine. In doing so, the strap is guided
between the gripper portion of the end gripper
and anvil then into a slot in the anvil where it
makes contact with the start switch detector
lever. As the lever moves to the left, it trips the
cycle start switch, LS1.

3. TENSION. When LS1 is closed,
the electromagnetic clutch energizes and
the cam shaft rotates approximately 45
degrees. This small amount of shaft
rotation is controlled by LS3, mounted at
the right-hand end of the cam shaft.
When LS3 closes it de-energizes the
electromagnetic clutch and the end
gripper will have been moved upward to
contain the upper strap beneath the
anvil.
The tension lever pivots and closes
the tension rollers. The tension rollers
close against the strap, drawing it back
through the head, thus tensioning it
around the package. When full tension
detector reacts at same time, the
electromagnetic clutch energizes again.

4. HOLDING GRIPPER RISES; HOT-KNIFE
MOVES INWARD. Momentarily electron
tension detector energizes the control circuit to
energize the electromagnetic clutch and turn
the cam shaft. As the cam shaft turns, the
holding gripper rises to contain the other end
of the strap beneath the anvil. The tension
lever is lowered to release tension and the
welding clamp begins to rise.
It’s important to note that all tension to the
strap must be released before the strap is cut,
otherwise the strap-end could be damaged
and feeding reliability will be affected. The
hot-knife moves in between the two layers of
strap.

6. WELD IS RELEASED; HEAD RETURNS
TO HOME POSITION.
The hot-knife retracts and the welding clamp
pushes the two molten surfaces together,
welding the strap.
After this short delay to ensure that the strap
fuses properly, the cam shaft again turns and
the holding gripper retract to the neutral
position.
The anvil then retracts and welded strap is
released to the lower side of the package.
The cam shaft returns to the home
position and closes LS3 and LS5.
The electromagnetic clutch is
de-energized by LS3 while LS5
energizes SOL1. As the solenoid
pulls down on the tensioning lever,
the feed rollers close against the
strap, pushing it through the head
and out into the strap channel. The
feed timer de-energizes and sol1 is
released.
Strap feed stops and the machine is
ready for the next cycle.
