  • Publication number: 20230226595
    Abstract: A binding device including: a binding machine that binds reinforcing bars with a wire; and a transfer robot that moves the binding machine and the reinforcing bars positioned at a binding position in a direction of approaching and a direction of separating from each other by a relative movement of the binding machine and the reinforcing bars. The binding machine is configured to determine, when the binding machine starts an operation of binding the reinforcing bars with the wire, a timing of moving the binding machine and the reinforcing bars in the direction of separating from each other, and the transfer robot is configured to move the binding machine and the reinforcing bars in the direction of separating from each other at the determined timing.

  • Patent number: 11407095
    Abstract: A striking tool includes: a driver which is provided to be slidable toward an ejecting port provided in a tip end of the striking tool so as to strike out a fastener from the ejecting port; a plunger to which the driver is coupled; a plunger urging member which is configured to urge the plunger toward the ejecting port: and a drive mechanism which is configured to move the plunger to accumulate urging force in the plunger urging member. A standby position of the plunger before striking out the fastener can be switched between a usual standby position and a standby position for maintenance closer to the ejecting port than the usual standby position.
