Abstract

The invention concerns a process and a device for avoiding interruptions of operation caused by the strapping, on machines for the strapping of packing elements. The process is characterized by a second strapping coil with further strapping, and in that the leader of one of the two strappings is constantly kept at a standby position in the machine from which, upon removal of the other strapping from the strapping guideway, it is automatically fed to the strapping guideway. The device is characterized in that the feed system is preceded by a switch with two strapping guideways for a leader section for each one of the two strappings, with a strapping feed for the alternative introduction of one of the two strapping leaders into the feed system. A first drive system is provided within the vicinity of the strapping guideways for selectively introducing one of the strapping materials into the feed system, while a second drive system is provided within the vicinity of the supply coils of the strapping materials for selectively engaging one of the supply coils in order to retract or withdraw a damaged or depleted strapping material from the feed system and permit a second one of the strapping materials to be introduced into the feed system.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft zunächst ein Verfahren zur Vermeidung von umreifungsmittelbedingten Betriebsunterbrechungen an Maschinen zum Umreifen von Packstücken, wobei das Umreifungsmittel auf einem Umreifungsmittelwickel bevorratet ist.The invention initially relates to a method for avoiding operational interruptions due to strapping means on machines for strapping packages, the strapping means being stored on a strap of strapping means.

Aus der DE-PS 38 25 668 ist ein Verfahren zur Beseitigung oder Verhinderung von umreifungsmittelbedingten Betriebsstörungen an solchen Maschinen bekannt. Hierbei wird das in der Maschine befindliche Umreifungsmittel - in erster Linie thermoplastisches Kunststoffband oder auch Stahlband - im Störfall entgegen der Zuführrichtung des Umreifungsmittels durch Rücklauf des Umreifungsmittelwickels aus der Maschine herausgezogen. Deshalb muß bei der Beseitigung einer umreifungsmittelbedingten Störung nicht mühsam in der Maschine gearbeitet werde, sondern das Umreifungsmittel kann rascher außerhalb der Maschine für einen erneuten Einschuß präpariert werden. Mit dem bekannten Verfahren wird also eine Betriebsunterbrechung zeitlich verkürzt.From DE-PS 38 25 668 a method for eliminating or preventing strapping-related malfunctions in such machines is known. In this case, the strapping material in the machine - primarily thermoplastic plastic band or steel band - is pulled out of the machine in the event of a malfunction against the direction of supply of the strapping material by the return of the strapping roll. It is therefore not necessary to laboriously work in the machine when eliminating a strapping-related malfunction, but the strapping agent can be prepared more quickly outside the machine for a new shot. With the known method, an interruption in operation is shortened in time.

Dieses bekannte Arbeitsverfahren hat sich außerordentlich gut bewährt. Jedoch läßt sich auf die Zeitdauer der außerhalb der Maschine durchzuführenden Arbeiten im Zusammenhang mit der Beseitigung von Umreifungmittelschadstellen außer durch Geschick bei der manuellen Arbeit kaum Einfluß nehmen, so daß entsprechende Maschinenstillstandszeiten hinzunehmen sind.This well-known working method has proven itself extremely well. However, the duration of the work to be carried out outside the machine in connection with the removal of strapping damage, apart from skill in the manual work, can hardly be influenced, so that corresponding machine downtimes can be tolerated.

Hier setzt die Erfindung ein. Ihr liegt zunächst die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zur Vermeidung von umreifungsmittelbedingten Betriebsunterbrechungen anzugeben, mit dem es auf einfache Weise mögliche ist, eine erhebliche weitere Verkürzung der Dauer solcher Betriebsunterbrechungen zu erreichen.This is where the invention comes in. It is initially based on the object of specifying a method for avoiding operational interruptions due to strapping means, with which it is possible in a simple manner to achieve a considerable further reduction in the duration of such operational interruptions.

Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe durch ein Verfahren, welches gekennzeichnet ist durch einen weiteren Umreifungsmittelwickel mit einem weiteren Umreifungsmittel und dadurch, daß jeweils der Anfang eines der beiden Umreifungsmittel in der Maschine ständig in Warteposition bereitgehalten wird, aus der heraus es nach Entfernen des anderen Umreifungsmittels aus der Umreifungsmittelführung dieser, ggf. "auf Knopfdruck", automatisch zugeführt wird.The invention solves this problem by a method which is characterized by a further strapping winding with a further strapping means and in that in each case the beginning of one of the two strapping means is kept in the machine in a waiting position, from which it comes out after removal of the other strapping means the strapping guide, this is automatically fed "at the push of a button".

Entsprechend dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren kann die Maschine im Falle einer umreifungsmittelbedingten Betriebsstörung das schadhafte Umreifungsmittel selbsttätig aus der Maschine ziehen und ohne Eingreifen des Personals ihren Betriebszustand mit dem zweiten Umreifungsmittel fortführen. Umreifungsmittelbedingte Betriebsunterbrechungen brauchen nunmehr nur noch solange zu dauern, bis das in der Maschine befindliche Umreifungsmittel aus der Maschine herausgezogen worden ist, weil - nachdem dies geschehen ist - sogleich der Umreifungsmittelanfang des schon in Warteposition befindlichen weiteren Umreifungsmittels dem Umreifungszyklus zugeführt werden kann, und zwar sogar automatisch. Dadurch verkürzt sich die Dauer der Betriebsunterbrechung um die Zeit, die sonst notwendig war, den Umreifungsmittelanfang wieder herzurichten. Während dieser auch jetzt noch benötigten Zeit arbeitet aber die Maschine bereits mit dem zweiten Umreifungsmittel. Nebenbei hat dies den Vorteil, daß der die Arbeiten am beschädigten Umreifungsmittel Vornehmende sich Zeit für besondere Sorgfalt seiner Tätigkeit lassen kann.According to the method according to the invention, in the event of a malfunction due to a strapping device, the machine can automatically pull the defective strapping device out of the machine and continue its operating state with the second strapping device without the intervention of the personnel. Interruptions to operation due to strapping need now only take so long until the strapping device in the machine has been pulled out of the machine, because - after this has happened - the beginning of the strapping device of the further strapping agent already in the waiting position can be fed to the strapping cycle, in fact automatically. This shortens the duration of the business interruption by the time that was otherwise necessary, the beginning of the strapping to prepare again. During this time, the machine is already working with the second strapping tool. In addition, this has the advantage that the person carrying out the work on the damaged strapping material can take the time to take particular care in his work.

Eine umreifungsmittelbedingte Betriebsunterbrechung entsteht auch dann, wenn der Umreifungsmittelvorrat eines Umreifungsmittelwickels aufgebraucht ist. Hier führt das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zu denselben Vorteilen, denn ein neuer Umreifungsmittelwickel kann während des Betriebs mit dem anderen Umreifungsmittel ausgetauscht und das neue Umreifungsmittel in seine erfindungsgemäße Bereitschaftsstellung verbracht werden.A strapping-related business interruption also occurs when the strapping stock of a strapping winding has been used up. Here, the method according to the invention leads to the same advantages, because a new strap can be exchanged with the other strap during operation and the new strap can be brought into its ready position according to the invention.

Es ist zwar grundsätzlich bekannt, an einer Umreifungsstation einen zweiten Umreifungsmittelwickel zu lagern. Dessen Umreifungsmittel befindet aber ausschließlich auf dem Wickel und steht in keiner bestimmten Zuordnung zur Umreifungseinrichtung; das Umreifungsmittel muß also bei Bedarf wie bislang umständlich und zeitraubend von jedem Vorrat abgezogen und der Maschinen zugeführt werden. Insofern zeigt dieser Stand der Technik lediglich eine maschinennahe Umreifungsmittelbevorratung.It is known in principle to store a second strapping roll at a strapping station. However, the strapping means is only on the winding and has no specific association with the strapping device; the strapping must therefore be removed from each supply and fed to the machine if necessary, as before, in a cumbersome and time-consuming manner. In this respect, this prior art only shows a stocking of straps close to the machine.

Die Erfindung betrifft sodann eine Maschine zum Umreifen von Packstücken mit einem drehbar angetriebenen sowie ggf. bremsbaren Umreifungsmittelwickel und mit einer Fördereinrichtung für das Umreifungsmittel. Dabei besteht die Aufgabe, eine solche Maschine bereitzustellen, deren Kapazität aufgrund zeitlicher Minimierung umreifungsmittelbedingter Betriebsunterbrechungen erhöht ist.The invention then relates to a machine for strapping packages with a rotatably driven and possibly brakable wrapping and with a conveyor for the strapping. The task is to provide such a machine whose capacity is increased due to time minimization of interruptions due to strapping.

Die Erfindung löst diesen vorrichtungsgemäßen Aspekt dadurch, daß der Fördereinrichtung eine Weiche mit zwei Umreifungsmittel-Führungsbahnen für je einen Anfangsabschnitt der beiden Umreifungsmittel und mit einem Umreifungsmittel-Vorschub zur alternativen Einführung eines der beiden Umreifungsmittelanfänge in die Fördereinrichtung vorgeordnet ist.The invention solves this aspect of the device in that the conveyor is preceded by a switch with two strapping means guideways for each initial section of the two strapping means and with a strapping feed for the alternative introduction of one of the two beginnings of the strapping means into the conveyor.

Die Weiche steuert die beiden Umreifungsmittel derart, daß - je nach Weichenstellung - eines der beiden Umreifungsmittel von der Fördereinrichtung erfaßt ist, während das andere unmittelbar davor in Bereitschaft auf seinen Einsatz wartet. Somit hat die Erfindung den wesentlichen Vorteil, daß bei Eintreten einer Betriebsunterbrechung bei Defekt oder Störung des Laufs des einen Umreifungsmittels fast unmittelbar, d.h. nach dessen Herausziehen aus der Maschine, der Verpackungszyklus mit dem im Umreifungsmittel-Vorschub befindlichen Anfangsabschnitt des zweiten Umreifungsmittels fortgesetzt werden kann. Außerdem sorgt die Weiche mittels ihrer Steuerfähigkeit dafür, daß der lediglich "in Reserve gehaltene" Anfang des einen Umreifungsmittel nicht unbeabsichtigt in den Weg des in Verarbeitung befindlichen Umreifungsmittel geraten kann.The switch controls the two strapping devices in such a way that - depending on the switch position - one of the two strapping devices is gripped by the conveyor, while the other one is waiting in front of it ready for use. Thus, the invention has the essential advantage that when an interruption occurs in the event of a defect or fault in the running of the one strapping means, almost immediately, i.e. after it is pulled out of the machine, the packaging cycle can be continued with the initial section of the second strapping means located in the strapping feed. In addition, the switch ensures, by means of its controllability, that the “reserve” start of one strapping tool cannot inadvertently get in the way of the strapping tool being processed.

Bei einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die der Fördereinrichtung vorgeordnete Weiche so angeordnet, daß die beiden Umreifungsmittel-Führungsbahnen von zwei räumlich getrennten Umreifungsmittel-Einführspalten zu der Fördereinrichtung hin zusammengeführt und der Umreifungsmittel-Vorschub nahe den Umreifungsmittel-Einführspalten angeordnet ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß die Umreifungsmittelanfänge zeitsparend jeweils nur ein geringes Stück in die Umreifungsmittel-Führungsbahnen eingeschoben werden müssen, um dann bei Bedarf vom Umreifungsmittel-Vorschub direkt in die Fördereinrichtung transportiert zu werden.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the switch upstream of the conveyor is arranged so that the two strapping guide tracks from two spatially separated strapping means insertion gaps towards the conveyor and the strapping feed is arranged close to the strapping means insertion gaps. This has the advantage that the beginning of the strapping only has to be inserted into the strapping guide in a time-saving manner in order to then be transported directly from the strapping feed into the conveyor if required.

Bei einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform wirkt der Umreifungsmittel-Vorschub - ggf. aus einer wirkneutralen Stellung heraus - alternativ auf das in der einen oder auf das in der andere Umreifungsmittel-Führungsbahn befindliche Umreifungsmittel ein. Hierdurch wird auf vorteilhafte Weise mittels nur eines Umreifungsmittel-Vorschubs die jeweiligen Umreifungsmittelanfänge in den Umreifungsmittel-Führungsbahnen in die Fördereinrichtung bewegt.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the feed of the strapping means acts, alternatively on the strapping means located in one or the other in the other strapping means guideway. As a result, the respective beginning of the strapping means in the strapping means guideways is advantageously moved into the conveyor device by means of only one strapping feed.

Weitere Vorteile ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen sowie aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung der Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel. Es zeigen:

Auf dem Maschinengehäuse 11 einer insgesamt mit 10 bezeichneten Umreifungsmaschine befindet sich ein im wesentlichen geschlossener Umreifungsmittel-Führungskanal 12, durch den und um ein nicht dargestelltes Packgut herum ein Umreifungsmittel 13 einem Verschlußaggregat 14 zugeführt wird.On the machine housing 11 of a strapping machine, generally designated 10, there is an essentially closed strapping guide channel 12, through which and around a packaged product (not shown) a strapping device 13 is fed to a closure unit 14.

Das Umreifungsmittel 13 - in der Regel ein Band aus thermoplastischem Kunststoff oder Stahl - wird außerhalb des Maschinengehäuses 11 auf zwei Umreifungsmittelwickeln 15 und 16 bevorratet, die auf am Maschinengehäuse 11 waagerecht angeordneten Wellen oder Tragachsen 17 drehbar gelagert. Zwischen den Umreifungsmittelwickeln 15 und 16 ist, ebenfalls am Maschinengehäuse 11, ein den Wickeln zugeordneter Antrieb 18 an einem Schwenkarm 19 angeordnet.The strapping means 13 - usually a band made of thermoplastic or steel - is stored outside the machine housing 11 on two strapping coils 15 and 16, which are rotatably mounted on shafts or supporting axes 17 arranged horizontally on the machine housing 11. A drive 18 assigned to the windings on a swivel arm 19 is arranged between the strapping windings 15 and 16, likewise on the machine housing 11.

Die Bezugsziffer 20 bezeichnet einen Umreifungsmittelspeicher, der beim Ausführungsbeispiel als Kastenspeicher ausgebildet ist, mit einer lichten Innenweite, die nur geringfügig größer als das Umreifungsmittel 13 breit ist. Das Umreifungsmittel 13 wird mit Hilfe von Speicherfüll-Förderrollen 21 in den Umreifungsmittelspeicher 20 gefördert. Hinter dem Umreifungsmittelspeicher 20 in Förderrichtung des Umreifungsmittels vorn sind Umreifungsmittelrückzugsrollen 22 angeordnet, wobei diesen wiederum Umreifungsmitteleinschußrollen 23 vorgeordnet sind. Die genannten Rollen 21, 22 und 23 sind als das Umreifungsmittel friktionsantreibende Rollenpaare ausgebildet. Mit 24 ist ein Umreifungsmittelspanner bezeichnet, der hier keine weitere Rolle spielt.The reference number 20 designates a strapping material store, which in the exemplary embodiment is designed as a box storage device, with an internal clearance that is only slightly larger than the strapping means 13. The strapping means 13 is conveyed into the strapping means store 20 with the aid of storage filling conveyor rollers 21. Strapping agent retraction rollers 22 are arranged behind the strapping means storage 20 in the conveying direction of the strapping means, these in turn being arranged upstream of the strapping agent insertion rollers 23. The roles mentioned 21, 22 and 23 are designed as friction strapping pairs of rollers. 24 is a strapping device tensioner, which plays no further role here.

Den Speicherfüll-Förderrollen 21 ist eine zwei Umreifungsmittel-Führungsbahnen 25 umfassende Weiche 26 vorgeordnet. Während die Umreifungsmittel-Führungsbahnen 25 im Bereich der Speicherfüll-Förderrollen 21 zusammenlaufen, bilden ihre freien hinteren Enden die Umreifungsmittel-Einführspalte 27 für das Umreifungsmittel 13 aus. Im Bereich der Einführspalte 27 ist ein Umreifungsmittel-Vorschub 28 angeordnet, der aus zwei raumfest angeordneten Rollen 29 sowie aus zwei schwenkbaren, nach Art eines Riementriebs miteinander gekoppelten Rollen 30 besteht. Zwischen den Speicherfüll-Förderrollen 21 und der Vorrichtung 28 ist jeder Umreifungsmittel-Führungsbahn 25 ein Umreifungsmittel-Melder 31 zugeordnet. Zwischen jedem Umreifungsmittelwickel 15, 16 sowie dem dazugehörigen Umreifungsmittel-Einführspalt 27 ist des weiteren noch eine Umlenkrolle 32 am Maschinengehäuse 11 befestigt.The storage filling conveyor rollers 21 are preceded by a switch 26 comprising two strapping means guideways 25. While the strapping means guideways 25 converge in the area of the storage filling conveyor rollers 21, their free rear ends form the strapping means insertion gaps 27 for the strapping means 13. In the area of the insertion gap 27, a strapping feed 28 is arranged, which consists of two fixedly arranged rollers 29 and two swiveling rollers 30 which are coupled to one another in the manner of a belt drive. Between the storage filling conveyor rollers 21 and the device 28, each strapping guide 25 is assigned a strapping detector 31. A deflection roller 32 is further attached to the machine housing 11 between each strapping roll 15, 16 and the associated strapping insertion slot 27.

Wie Fig. 2 zeigt, ist jedem Umreifungsmittelwickel 15, 16 jeweils eine Fotozelle 33 zugeordnet. 34 stellt schematisch eine Reflektionsfläche auf jedem Umreifungsmittelwickel-Kern 35 dar, die vom Kernmaterial selbst gebildet sein kann.As shown in FIG. 2, each strapping roll 15, 16 is assigned a photocell 33. 34 schematically illustrates a reflective surface on each strapping core 35 which may be formed by the core material itself.

Die Umreifungsmaschine 10 wird folgendermaßen erstmals in Betrieb genommen. Zunächst werden beide Anfangsabschnitte der Umreifungsmittel 13 durch die Umlenkrollen 32 hindurchgefädelt sowie in die Einführspalte 27 eingesteckt. Nach Inbetriebnahme der Maschine wird der Anfang eines Umreifungsmittels durch den Umreifungsmittel-Vorschub 28 über eine der Umreifungsmittel-Führungsbahnen 25 zwischen die Speicherfüll-Förderrollen 21 geschoben. Danach übergeben die Speicherfüll-Förderrollen 21 das Umreifungsmittel 13 den Umreifungsmittelrückzugsrollen 22, die bei entsprechender Drehrichtung das Umreifungsmittel 13 durch die Spanneinrichtung 24 und die Umreifungsmitteleinschußrollen 23 dem Verschlußaggregat 14 zuführen.The strapping machine 10 is started up for the first time as follows. First, both initial sections of the strapping means 13 through the deflection rollers 32 threaded through and inserted into the insertion column 27. After the machine has been started up, the beginning of a strapping device is pushed through the strapping device feed 28 via one of the strapping device guideways 25 between the storage filling conveyor rollers 21. The storage filling conveyor rollers 21 then transfer the strapping means 13 to the strapping means retraction rollers 22, which feed the strapping means 13 through the tensioning device 24 and the strapping means insertion rollers 23 to the closing unit 14 in the corresponding direction of rotation.

In einem nächsten Schritt wird durch den entstehenden Staudruck mittels der Speicherfüll-Förderrollen 21 der Speicher 20 mindestens mit der für den folgenden Umreifungsvorgang notwendigen Umreifungsmittellänge gefüllt. Der Staudruck entsteht durch das Festhalten des Umreifungsmittelanfangs im Verschlußaggregat 14 bei gleichzeitigem Weiterfördern der Speicherfüll-Förderrollen 21. Danach fördern die Umreifungsmitteleinschußrollen 23 den Umreifungsmittelanfang mit hoher Geschwindigkeit durch den Umreifungsmittelkanal 12, wobei das Vorderende des Umreifungsmittels im Bereich des Verschlußaggregats festgeklemmt wird. Das Umreifungsmittel 13 wird sodann mittels der Umreifungsmittelrückzugsrollen 22 um das Packstück gestrafft, die überlappenden Umreifungsmittelabschnitte vom Verschlußaggregat 14 miteinander verbunden und schließlich das Umreifungsmittel durchtrennt. Danach kann ein neuer Umreifungszyklus beginnen.In a next step, the accumulation pressure generated by the storage filling conveyor rollers 21 fills the storage 20 with at least the length of strapping necessary for the subsequent strapping process. The dynamic pressure is created by holding the beginning of the strapping agent in the closure assembly 14 while simultaneously conveying the storage filling conveyor rollers 21. The strapping agent insertion rollers 23 then convey the beginning of the strapping agent at high speed through the strapping agent channel 12, the front end of the strapping agent being clamped in the region of the closing unit. The strapping means 13 is then tightened around the package by means of the strapping means retraction rollers 22, the overlapping strapping means sections are connected to one another by the closure unit 14 and finally the strapping means is severed. A new strapping cycle can then begin.

Kommt es nun zu umreifungsmittelbedingten Störungen, wird der beschädigte Umreifungsmittelabschnitt aus der Maschine 10 heraustransportiert. Dies geschieht dadurch, daß derjenige Umreifungsmittelwickel 15 oder 16, von dem zur Zeit Umreifungsmittel 13 abgezogen wird, mit Hilfe des Antrieb 18 (Rewinder) entgegen der betriebsbedingten Drehrichtung angetrieben wird. Damit der Antrieb 18 alternativ beide Umreifungsmittelwickel 15, 16 entgegen der eigentlichen Drehrichtung antreiben kann, ist er an dem Schwenkarm 19 gelagert, der durch beidseitig angeordnete Elektromagneten 36 so bewegt werden kann, daß der Antrieb 18 entweder an dem Umreifungsmittelwickel 15 oder 16 anliegt oder eine neutrale Mittelstellung einnehmen kann.If there are now malfunctions due to strapping means, the damaged strapping section is transported out of the machine 10. This is done in that the strapping 15 or 16 from which strapping 13 is currently being pulled is driven with the aid of the drive 18 (rewinder) against the operational direction of rotation. So that the drive 18 can alternatively drive both straps 15, 16 against the actual direction of rotation, it is mounted on the swivel arm 19 which can be moved by electromagnets 36 arranged on both sides so that the drive 18 either rests on the strapping 15 or 16 or one can take neutral middle position.

Während des Herausziehens des Umreifungsmittels 13 wird durch den seiner Umreifungsmittel-Führungsbahn 25 zugeordneten Umreifungsmittel-Melder 31 - nach dem Passieren des Umreifungsmittelendes - automatisch der Umreifungsmittel-Vorschub 28 in Gang gesetzt, so daß der sich in Warteposition befindliche Umreifungsmittelanfang des auf den anderen Umreifungsmittelwickel 15 oder 16 angeordneten Umreifungsmittel 13 durch die andere Umreifungsmittel-Führungsbahn 25 zu den Speicherfüll-Förderrollen 21 vorgeschoben wird. Dann kann mit dem "Reserveband" sofort der oben geschilderte Verpackungszyklus fortgeführt werden. Dies verkürzt die umreifungsmittelbedingten Störungszeiten erheblich.While the strapping means 13 is being pulled out, the strapping means feeder 31 assigned to its strapping means guideway 25 - after passing through the strapping means end - automatically sets the strapping means feed 28 in motion, so that the beginning of the strapping means, which is in the waiting position, of the other strapping means 15 or 16 arranged strapping means 13 is pushed through the other strapping means guide track 25 to the storage filling conveyor rollers 21. Then the packaging cycle described above can be continued immediately with the "reserve belt". This significantly shortens the malfunction-related downtimes.

Auch bei zur Neige gehendem Umreifungsmittelvorrat wirken das Verfahren und die Vorrichtung entsprechend. Leert sich beispielsweise der in den Zeichnungen obere Umreifungsmittelwickel 15 (dessen Band momentan verarbeitet wird), ändert sich das Reflektionsverhalten bezüglich der betreffenden Fotozelle 33, sobald deren Strahl vom Band auf den Wickelkern 35 übergeht. Diese "Bandendemeldung" führt zum Rückzug des Umreifungsmittels 13 aus der Maschine 10. Sobald dann der betreffende Umreifungsmittel-Melder 31 seine Umreifungsmittel-Führung 25 als leer meldet, steuert der Umreifungsmittel-Vorschub 28 um auf das zweite Umreifungsmittel 13 und fördert dies in den Umreifungsablauf. Folglich tritt auch beim Aufbrauch des Umreifungsmittels 13 eines Umreifungsmittelvorrates nahezu kein Maschinenstillstand ein.The method and the device act accordingly even when the strapping agent supply is running low. For example, the upper one in the drawings empties Strapping means roll 15 (whose band is currently being processed), the reflection behavior with respect to the relevant photocell 33 changes as soon as its beam passes from the band to the winding core 35. This "end of strap message" leads to the withdrawal of the strapping means 13 from the machine 10. As soon as the strapping agent detector 31 in question reports its strapping means guide 25 as empty, the strapping means feed 28 reverses to the second strapping means 13 and promotes this in the strapping process . Consequently, almost no machine downtime occurs when the strapping means 13 of a stock of strapping means is used up.
