  • Patent number: 11801546
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a cable-tie straightening device including a receiving unit for receiving a cable tie, a feed unit for moving the cable tie from the receiving unit into a straightening unit, the straightening unit for straightening a strap of the cable tie, and a discharge unit for discharging the cable tie. The cable tie moved by the feed unit with a head of the cable tie pointing in the direction of the movement. The straightening unit configured to receive the cable tie, guide the strap of the cable tie through guide elements and straighten it, and also to move the cable tie into the discharge unit, with a strap tip of the cable tie pointing in the direction of the movement.

  • Patent number: 11485528
    Abstract: A manual automatic device configured for fitting cable ties around a bundle of cables or the like. The device includes a control interface allowing the user of the device to choose an operating mode that tightens but does not cut the cable tie and in which the electric motor which drives the cable tie in tension is controlled in reverse rotation to eject the cable tie before cutting. A method for controlling the device is also presented herein.

  • Publication number: 20190106231
    Abstract: A portable tool configured for tightening bands, such as cable ties, around an elongate object, such as a bundle of cables or the like. The tool includes a command interface that allows a the user of the tool to choose a predetermined final circumferential dimension of the loop formed by the band around the bundle of cables. An electronic unit commands a tensioning device and a severing device depending on the predetermined circumferential dimension chosen by means of the command interface. The invention also relates to a method for commanding the tool.

  • Patent number: 10179665
    Abstract: A portable tool for tying an object, in particular a cable harness, using a strip, comprising a tool element with a cycle controller arranged in the tool element, a clamping device, and a drive for the clamping device. The drive is designed as a dual drive such that the cycle controller and the clamping device each have a dedicated drive, said drives being actuated independently by a controller. By providing a dedicated drive for the clamping device in this manner, interfering influences from the cycle controller are eliminated. Thus, a more precise clamping process can be carried out with high reproducibility, thereby improving the quality of the tying process.
