    Abstract: A method is provided for an electrically-driven tool to detect battery decline. The electrically-driven tool includes a battery, a controller and a kinetic device. The controller pre-stores a dataset of energy provision time including a data piece of energy provision time that signifies a predetermined time length presumed to be required by the battery to provide a predetermined amount of electric energy. The controller induces provision of the predetermined amount of electric energy to the kinetic device to have the kinetic device perform a predetermined stroke with a predetermined load, times a stroke time period taken by the predetermined stroke, and determines whether the stroke time period is greater than the predetermined time length. The controller outputs a battery abnormality signal when the stroke time period is greater than the predetermined time length.

    Abstract: A device and a method twist single cables about a twisting axis to form a cable bundle along an extension axis. The device includes mutually spaced single rotating units for separately holding cable ends at one end of the single cables; a twisting unit for holding and twisting cable ends at the other end; and a guiding apparatus, to which is fastened a guiding mandrel for separating the single cables, at least in some regions, during a twisting process by the twisting unit, in a transition region from an untwisted region to a twisted region. The guiding apparatus further includes: a movement element for moving the guiding mandrel out of an initial position into a moved-in position, in which the guiding mandrel is moved into the twisting axis; and a locking element for holding the guiding mandrel in the position moved in out of the twisting axis.

    Abstract: A method of twisting a pair of wires includes the steps of arranging a first wire parallel to a second wire along a longitudinal axis, securing ends of the first and second wires, and gripping outer surfaces of central portions of the first and second wires. The inner surfaces of the central portions of the first and second wires are in contact with one another. The method further includes deflecting central portions of the first and second wires orthogonally from the longitudinal axis and rotating the central portions of the central portions of the first and second wires, thereby twisting the first and second wires about one another.

    Abstract: It provides a reinforcing bar binding machine which reduces restrictions on a moving direction of the reinforcing bar binding machine in an operation of pulling out a reinforcing bar bound with a wire. A reinforcing bar binding machine (1A) includes a curl guide unit (5A) that winds a wire (W) around a reinforcing bar (S), a wire feeding unit (3A) that feeds the wire (W), and a binding unit (7A) that twists crossing portions between one end and the other end of the wire (W) wound around the reinforcing bar (S). The curl guide unit (5A) includes a first guide unit (50) that curls the wire (W) fed by the feeding unit (3A) and a second guide unit (51) that guides the wire (W) fed from the first guide unit (50) to the binding unit (7A), and the second guide unit (51) includes a fixed guide unit (54) that restricts a position in a radial direction of the wire (W) wound around the reinforcing bar (S) and a movable guide unit (55) that restricts a position in an axial direction of the wire (W) wound around the reinforcing bar (S).
