Abstract: The disclosure relates to an automatic bundling tool device (ABT) for bundling a bundling good by means of a one-piece-tie (OPT). In aspects, an ABT includes a holding unit configured to receive, hold, and release a respective OPT; a motion guiding unit configured to guide a motion of the holding unit between a receiving position and a releasing position; a claw unit configured to guide a strap of the respective OPT around the bundling good; and a tip guiding unit with at least one guiding flap element configured to guide a tip of the respective OPT towards an entrance of the claw unit.

Abstract: Disclosed are apparatuses and methods that improve production processes in which automatic bundling tool devices (ABT) bundle a good by means of one-piece-ties (OPT). The improvements include an ABT for bundling a bundle good with a OPT, which includes a band part end and a head part. The ABT includes a guiding device and a tensioning device configured to tension the OPT. The tensioning device is further configured to push the OPT band part end against the tensioning direction in a pushing direction after the OPT has been tensioned. The ABT further includes a control device configured to determine a characteristic parameter for the pushing of the OPT band part end against the tensioning direction and output a quality check signal as a function of the characteristic parameter for the pushing against the tensioning direction and a reference value predetermined for the characteristic parameter.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a reservoir device for feeding one-piece fixing ties, OPTs, to an automatic bundling tool device, ABT, wherein the reservoir device is configured to detachably hold the OPTs on at least one carrier unit of the reservoir device, in a row, with the carrier unit having a base and being configured to be moved to or through the ABT in order to have the OPTs detached from the carrier unit; where the at least one carrier unit is a unit separate from the OPTs; and the at least one carrier unit is configured to have the respective OPT detachably attached to the carrier unit by a respective interface element configured to receive and hold the respective OPT on the carrier unit so as to enable a flexible feeding of different types of one-piece fixing ties to automatic bundling tool devices.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an automatic bundling tool device (ABT) for bundling a bundling good by means of a one-piece-tie (OPT). In an aspect, an ABT includes: a holding unit configured to receive, hold, and release a respective OPT which is provided to the ABT from an external reservoir of OPTs; a linear motion guiding unit configured to linearly guide the holding unit in a longitudinal direction while moving between a receiving position where the holding unit receives, during intended use, the respective OPT and a releasing position where the holding unit releases, during intended use, the respective OPT; and a drive unit configured to move the holding unit along the linear motion guiding unit.

Abstract: This publication describes automatic bundling tool devices capable of tightening one-piece-ties with increased tolerance with respect to the thickness of the one-piece-tie (OPT) strap. In an aspect, disclosed is a bundling tool device that includes a tightening mechanism with a tightening gear unit with a tightening gear, and with a tightening roller unit with two tightening rollers, forming a gap in between tightening gear and tightening rollers. The gap is configured to hold a strap of a respective OPT processed by the device. The tightening gear includes teeth which are configured to fit into a serration of the strap. The tightening roller unit includes a lever with the two tightening rollers being arranged on the lever in a first end section of the lever, a turning point of the lever being arranged in a middle section of the lever, and an adjustment element of the tightening roller unit.
