Abstract
A strapping tool is disclosed herein. In one or more embodiments, the strapping tool includes a motive power source and a sealing assembly. The sealing assembly includes a first punch and a die, the first punch and die configured to crimp or cut a notch in a strapping seal member and/or a piece of strapping so as to secure the piece of strapping around a package or bundle of items.
Claims17
A strapping tool, comprising:
- a motive power source;
- a sealing assembly, the sealing assembly comprising a first punch and a die, the first punch and die configured to crimp or cut a notch in a strapping seal member and/or a piece of strapping so as to secure the piece of strapping around a package or bundle of items;
- and
- a tensioning assembly operatively coupled to the motive power source, the tensioning assembly including a cam member and at least one tensioning foot member, the cam member operatively coupling the at least one tensioning foot member to the motive power source, and the at least one tensioning foot member of the tensioning assembly configured to apply tension to the piece of strapping while being driven in an oscillatory manner by the motive power source.

A strapping tool, comprising:
- a motive power source;
- and
- a sealing assembly, the sealing assembly comprising:
- a die configured to hold a strapping seal member,
- a first punch disposed in front of the die, the first punch configured to crimp or cut a first notch in the strapping seal member and/or a piece of strapping,
- a second punch disposed behind the die, the second punch configured to crimp or cut a second notch in the strapping seal member and/or the piece of strapping,
- a follower member configured to cooperate with the die so as to position at least a portion of the die beneath the strapping seal member,
- a cam member operatively coupling the follower member to the motive power source,
- a first actuator operatively coupled to the motive power source, the first actuator configured to drive the first punch into the strapping seal member and/or the piece of strapping proximate to the die thereby notching or crimping the strapping seal member and/or the piece of strapping, and
- a second actuator operatively coupled to the motive power source, the second actuator configured to drive the second punch into the strapping seal member and/or the piece of strapping proximate to the die thereby notching or crimping the strapping seal member and/or the piece of strapping.
