Abstract
A binding system including: a binding device including a binding machine that binds reinforcing bars with a wire, and a transfer robot that moves the binding machine to a binding position; a remaining wire amount detection unit configured to detect a remaining amount of the wire to be used in the binding machine; and processing circuitry configured to control a binding operation of the binding device based on the remaining amount of the wire detected by the remaining wire amount detection unit.
Claims24
A binding system comprising:
- a binding device including a binding machine that includes a curl forming unit forming a path through which a wire is wound around reinforcing bars, a cutting unit that cuts the wire wrapped around the reinforcing bars, and a binding unit that twists the wire wrapped around the reinforcing bars, and that binds the reinforcing bars with the wire, and a transfer robot that moves the binding machine to a binding position;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- detect a remaining amount of the wire to be used in the binding machine;
- and
- control a binding operation of the binding device based on the detected remaining amount of the wire.
A method for controlling a binding device, the binding device comprising a binding machine that binds reinforcing bars with a wire and a transfer robot that moves the binding machine to a binding position, the method comprising computer-implemented steps of:
- detecting a remaining amount of the wire to be used in the binding machine;
- and
- controlling a binding operation of the binding device based on the detected remaining amount of the wire.
A binding system comprising:
- a binding device including:
- a binding machine that includes:
- a curl guide that imparts a winding habit to a wire to form a path through which the wire is wound around reinforcing bars;
- a pair of blades to cut the wire wrapped around the reinforcing bars;
- a hook member including a center hook, a first hook, and a second hook, the first hook and the second hook being configured to open and close with respect to the center hook, the hook member being configured to lock the wire between the center hook and the first hook, and between the center hook and the second hook;
- a sleeve that causes the hook member to operate;
- a rotation shaft configured to twist the wire wrapped around the reinforcing bars,
- the binding machine being configured to bind the reinforcing bars with the wire;
- and
- a transfer robot that moves the binding machine to a binding position;
- and
- processing circuitry configured to:
- detect a remaining amount of the wire to be used in the binding machine;
- and
- control a binding operation of the binding device based on the detected remaining amount of the wire.
