Abstract
A device for measuring the tensioning of a strap wound around one or more products or objects includes: a frame that supports a first head and a second head opposed, spaced apart and configured to receive a strap that is strapped externally to both of them; a movement mechanism for mutually displacing the heads, a detector for detecting the stress and deformation data of the strap when the movement mechanism mutually move the heads away to deform the strap until the relative breakage; a computer operatively connected to the detector, configured to process the data acquired by the detector and to calculate the values of the tensile load and of the elongation affecting the strap.
Claims17
A device for measuring the tensioning of at least one strap wound and strapped around at least one product or one object, comprising a frame that supports:
- a first head and a second head facing each other, spaced apart and opposed that are configured to receive a strap that is wound and strapped externally to both said heads according to a ring configuration;
- movement means configured to mutually displace at least one of said heads according to at least one direction;
- detection means for detecting at least the stress and deformation data affecting said strap when it is wound and blocked outside said heads and when said movement means mutually move said heads away to deform said strap until the relative breakage;
- computer means operatively connected to said detection means and comprising:
- storage means in which a computer product is stored;
- a microprocessor that is configured to execute said computer product,
- said computer product, when it is being processed, being configured to process the data acquired by said detection means and to calculate the values at least of the tensile load and of the elongation affecting said strap.
