The concept of strapping robotic arms onto a person is terrifying,” he says.

The invention relates to a strapping device which comprises means for automatically strapping a package.

The device includes a body having a strap inlet and a strap outlet and defining a strap path therethrough.

The invention relates to a strapping device which is especially used for longitudinally strapping stacks of printed products such as newspapers or magazines, using a strapping material (6).

The strap is formed with at least one rib extending longitudinally from a first end of the strap to a second end of the strap.

The geometry of the strap prevents the strap from twisting and permits overlapping sections of the strap to interlock and self-align during sealing.

The axle is connected to the trailing arm between the pivotal connection and the air spring by a wrapper band (40) that compressively holds the axle and is coupled to the trailing arm by a resilient connection (26, 28).

Strap can be fed through the track assembly (118) without damaging the strap.

A drum comprising a drum shell (11), a drum head (12), a counter-hoop (13) and a shell hoop (15).

The first sealing element is sealed to the first course of strap material and the second seal element is sealed to the second course of strap material to form a strap seal.

The first strap is engaged.

The sealing heads then tension the strap material around the load and form a seal of strap around the package and a seal forming the subsequent drape of strap material.

The strap further comprises side panels that are parallel to the longitudinal plane of the strap and outer edges that are generally perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of the strap.
