Abstract: A self-propelled wrapping machine has an anchoring element including a base adapted to abut a supporting plane and connected to an upper plate, and a locking element between the upper plate and the base. The locking element and base are movable relative to each other between closed and open configurations. The machine also has a first gripping unit movable and configured to position and release the anchoring element, associated with an initial flap of film blocked between the locking element and the base in the closed configuration, on the supporting plane adjacent to a load in an initial step of wrapping, and to grasp and lift the anchoring element and move the locking element and the base to the open configuration to release the initial flap of film after at least one turn travelled by the self-propelled wrapping machine around the load while wrapping it with the film.

Abstract: A self-propelled wrapping machine movable on a supporting plane to wrap a load with a film has a self-propelled carriage provided with a drive wheel, an upright slidably supporting an unwinding unit provided with a reel of film, an actuator to operate the drive wheel and the unwinding unit along the upright, a control unit to control the actuator, and a scanning device to scan a defined area of the supporting plane to detect a possible obstacle in the area and in the presence of the obstacle to send an obstacle alarm signal to the control unit to stop the actuator. The scanning device is configured to scan a first area of the supporting plane during a wrapping cycle of a load and a second area during a manual maneuvering procedure, the second area being smaller than the first area.
