Steel strapping has the strength for the loads these industries move. Applying it on the machine keeps it consistent at the tension the load needs. The load range and its straps are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"what-the-machine-does-23\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What the machine does<\/h2>\n<p>The machine applies steel strapping to loads in the line, tensioning each strap and sealing it with a friction weld automatically. Loads pass through and come out strapped, held to the tension the PLC sets. Because the machine tensions and seals every strap, the heavy flow does not wait on a hand strapper. The covered cycle is confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"plc-controlled-tensioning\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>PLC controlled tensioning<\/h2>\n<p>Tension is set and held by PLC control, applying the same force to each strap across the load. Controlled tensioning is what keeps a strap effective without crushing the load or letting it loosen. The PLC holds the set tension strap after strap. Tension settings follow the load and its strap, confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"friction-weld-sealing\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Friction weld sealing<\/h2>\n<p>The strap is sealed with a friction weld, joining the strap ends without a separate seal that can fail. Friction welding is strong and clean, giving the joint the load&#8217;s handling can rely on. A welded joint holds at the strap&#8217;s own strength. The seal settings follow the strap type, confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"load-integrity\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Load integrity<\/h2>\n<p>Load integrity is the whole load staying where it was packed, held by straps that keep their tension through the journey. Integrity is what the heavy load ships on, and what a broken strap destroys. Machine tensioning and welding keep integrity consistent. The integrity standard is confirmed per project against the loads and route.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"online-in-the-heavy-flow\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Online in the heavy flow<\/h2>\n<p>The machine is online, strapping loads as they move in production so the heavy flow is not broken by a side strapping step. Online application is what keeps throughput while adding the strapping the load needs. The machine accepts the flow and returns it strapped. The line interface is confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"typical-configuration\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Typical configuration<\/h2>\n<p>Figures below list functional design boundaries rather than numeric values, and are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Parameter<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Typical range, confirmed per project<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Load<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">metals, lumber, construction<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Strap<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">steel plan<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Tension<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">PLC set<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Seal<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">friction weld<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Flow<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">online<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Electrical supply<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">380 V three phase 50 Hz, or 220 V single phase for light machines, selected per project<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><a id=\"what-the-video-shows\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h2>What the video shows<\/h2>\n<p>Our footage shows an online automatic steel strapping machine in a heavy-duty flow.
