3.2. Maximum strapping speed 40 wires/min

The JOINPACK A85NAB has a maximum strapping speed of 40 wires per minute.

This parameter shows the ability to perform fast strapping cycles that meet high packaging frequency applications.

However, the actual yield also depends on:

• Package size and weight.

• Number of straps per piece.

• Conveyor speed.

• Distance between packages.

• Stop time and package positioning.

• Sensor and control system configuration.

• Ability to synchronize with pre- and post-machine devices.

When selecting equipment, businesses should calculate the productivity of the entire line instead of relying solely on the maximum strapping speed.

3.3. Control PLC HMI touch screen combination

The A85NAB JOINPACK strapping machine is equipped with a PLC control system and an HMI touch screen.

PLC is responsible for processing signals and controlling the machine's sequence of operations.

HMI displays help the operator interact with the control system through an intuitive interface.

The benefits of the PLC – HMI system include:

• Convenient to monitor the operation process.

• Support machine control operation.

• Facilitate operational status checks.

This is the ability to interconnect with equipment located in front and back of the machine in the packaging line.

This function supports the coordination of operations between strapping machines and systems such as:

• Feed conveyor.

• The conveyor belt goes out to the goods.

• Carton sealing machine.

• Product Classification System.

• Related packaging equipment.

When designing the line, technicians need to confirm control signals, connection diagrams and safety requirements to ensure that the equipment works synchronously.

3.5. Adjusting the Conveyor Speed

The A85NAB allows for the adjustment of conveyor speeds, helping businesses set the transportation speed in accordance with the characteristics of the package and the production span.

This feature is especially useful when the machine is used with other packaging equipment.

The adjustment needs to ensure that the package is positioned correctly during the strapping process.

3.6. Wide tension range from 3–70kg

The JOINPACK A85NAB supports two tension bands according to the wire specification:

For 5mm and 6mm wires: tension 3–30kg.

For 9mm, 12mm and 15mm wires: tension 5–70kg.

Low tension usability is suitable for lightweight or deformed packages.

The higher tension range is suitable for applications where the bale needs to be secured more firmly, within the allowable limits of the machine and belt.

The point to note is that the maximum tension is not the same for all wire gauges. Businesses need to choose a configuration based on the actual rope specifications used.

3.7. Support 5–15mm plastic straps

The machine can be configured to use wire gauges:

• 5mm straps.

• 6mm straps.

• 9mm straps.

• 12mm straps.

• 15mm straps.

The ability to support multiple wire gauges helps the A85NAB meet various packaging requirements.

However, it is necessary to confirm the wire gauge according to the order configuration. It is not recommended to default that a machine can convert all wire gauges without adjusting or replacing the guide unit.

3.8. Looping Ejector

The A85NAB is equipped with a standard Looping Ejector function.

This system supports the handling of the strap loop in situations where the strapping cycle is faulty.

The function helps to reduce manual wire handling in cases that are suitable for the mechanism of operation of the machine.

This is a useful feature for packaging lines that need to limit downtime.

3.9. Short Feeding Sensor

The machine is equipped with a Short Feeding Sensor, which helps detect the condition that the belt is not sufficiently fed as required.

In an automatic strapping system, the condition that the ejection line does not reach the frame may prevent the machine from performing the next strapping cycle.

The missing wire-level sensor supports the system to recognize the abnormal condition to perform a response according to the control program.

3.10. Coil End Eject System

The A85NAB has a Coil End Eject System function, which supports the processing of the remaining wire when the winding ends.

This feature reduces the handling of coiled end wires during material changes.

For the continuous use of the machine, the convenient handling of the winding end wire reduces the operator's operation time.

3.11. Waist Auto Loading System
