Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems for compressing and strapping loads with press-type strapping machines having improved platen control. The system includes first and second strapping machines each configured to compress and strap a load. The first strapping machine applies a compressive force to the load until a target compressive force is reached and then straps the load. The second strapping machine compresses the load until the height of the load is substantially the same as the height of the load when the first strapping machine strapped the load. The second strapping machine then straps the load. The system ensures the height of the load is substantially the same during each strapping operation.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a press-type strapping machine with compression sensors that enable the strapping machine to determine the applied compressive force the strapping machine applies to the load. The strapping machine includes a machine frame, a load supporter configured to support and move the load, a platen configured to compress the load against the load supporter, multiple compression sensors configured to sense compressive force, a strapping head configured to strap the load, and a controller configured to control the various components of the strapping machine. The compression sensors are mounted between the machine frame and the load supporter and are configured to send feedback representing detected compressive force to the controller. The controller is configured to use this feedback from the compression sensors to determine the compressive force the platen applies to the load.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a press-type strapping machine with a platen-locking system, that, when in a locked configuration, prevents the platen from descending regardless of its vertical position. The strapping machine includes a machine frame; a load supporter configured to support and move the load; a platen configured to compress the load against the load supporter; and a platen-locking system including a ratchet wheel, a locking arm, and an actuator operably connected to the locking arm and configured to move the locking arm relative to the ratchet wheel from a locked position to an unlocked position. When the locking arm is in the locked position, the locking arm engages the ratchet wheel in a manner that prevents the platen from descending. When the locking arm is in the unlocked position, the locking arm is disengaged from the ratchet wheel such that the platen can descend.
