Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing strapping. A strapping band (4) is first guided about at least one packaging piece, tightened, and equipped with a closure at band ends (4a, 4b) to be connected in a closure unit (1). Furthermore, at least one sensor (7) connected to a control unit (8) is provided in the closure unit (1). One or more closure parameters are detected by means of the control unit (8) using the sensor (7), and the closure unit (1) is correspondingly actuated. According to the invention, the sensor (7) is designed as a load cell (7) which is let into a compression ram (6a, 6b) of the closure unit (1).

Abstract: A strapping tool has a tensioner for tightening a strap, a sealer for fixing together ends of the strap, a base, and a drive mounted on the base for operating the tensioner and sealer. The sealer or tensioner is a module removably attached to the base. A transponder is provided on the module and a reader on the base for wirelessly communicating with the transponder. A controller is connected to the reader for operating the tool.

Abstract: The invention describes an LED lighting assembly (1) comprising a reflector unit (11) comprising a number of reflector regions (11_lo, 11_hi); an LED carrier (10) realised to support at least one LED arrangement (2_lo, 2_hi); and at least one positioning feature (P?, P?, PZ) for positioning the LED carrier (10) relative to the reflector unit (11), wherein a positioning feature (P?, P?, PZ) is arranged in the same plane as the optical centre of the LED arrangement (2_lo, 2_hi). The invention further describes a method of manufacturing such an LED lighting assembly (1).
