Abstract: A strapping machine of the type configured to feed a strapping material around a load, position, tension and seal the strapping material around the load includes a weld head having a readily removable and serviceable weld blade. The head includes a body, a blade arm biasedly mounted to the body and a carrier receivable in the blade arm and movable between an operating position and a service position. The carrier is securable in the blade arm, without tools, in the operating position and the service position. The weld blade is fixedly mounted to the carrier.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pivotal strap path access cover with an integral feed wheel mechanism for a strapping machine. The strap path access cover is pivotable, without the use of tools, to an open inspection position, such that the feed wheel integral with the access cover is also moved clear of the inspection area, allowing unhampered access to the inspection area for removal of strap debris or correction of various malfunctions.

Abstract: A strapping machine apparatus manipulated through a single actuating lever action, allows the machine strapping chute to be fully opened and exposed for rapid obstruction removal, and/or servicing.

Abstract: In a strapping machine, a device for applying various levels of gripping force to a leading end of a strap during various phases of a strapping cycle is disclosed. A cam having high pressure, reduced pressure, and released pressure surfaces cooperates with an end gripper to grip a strap firmly, loosely, or not at all, depending on the requirements.
