1. Introduction of A88N JOINPACK automatic strapping machine

The JOINPACK A88N belongs to the A-8 Series of automatic strapping machines, developed for applications that require high strapping speeds and flexible tension adjustment.

The highlight of the machine is the Servo motor drive system, which combines many functions to support automatic operation.

Different from the semi-automatic strapping machine, the A88N uses a wire guide frame to bring the strap around the package without the operator pulling the wire manually.

In a strapping cycle, the machine performs the following stages:

1. Launch the belt through the wire guide frame.

2. Collect the cord and stretch around the package.

3. Heat welding bonds the two ends of the wire.

4. Cut the wire after completing the weld.

5. Prepare the wires for the next cycle.

Thanks to its Servo drive mechanism and wire feeding support functions, the A88N automatic strapping machine meets the needs of high-frequency packaging at factories and warehouses.

2. Specifications of A88N automatic strapping machine

Note: The wire gauges, voltages and frame sizes are selected according to the machine configuration. The speed from 60 wires/min is the speed of the strapping cycle, which does not mean a productivity of 60 pieces/minute under all operating conditions.

3. Outstanding Features of A88N Automatic Strapping Machine

3.1. Servo motor – High-speed operation

The most prominent feature of the A88N JOINPACK automatic strapping machine is the drive system using Servo motor.

Servo motors allow for flexible and precise motion control, meeting the requirement to perform fast strapping cycles.

Compared with traditional drive systems, the Servo mechanism has the following advantages:

• Fast response ability.

• Good motion control.

• Suitable for continuous repeated strapping cycles.

• Supports maintaining high operating speeds.

• Convenient for industrial packaging applications.

Thanks to the use of Servo motors, the A88N is suitable for businesses that need to improve the productivity of cartons and bales.

3.2. Strapping speed of 60 wires/minute or more

The JOINPACK A88N achieves strapping speeds of 60 wires per minute or more according to configuration and operating conditions.

This is an important advantage for factories with a large number of products to be strapped.

However, the actual packing yield depends on many factors such as the size of the package, the number of straps per package, and the time it takes to bring in and take out the goods.

For example, if a package needs two strapping cycles, the total completion time will include both strapping cycles and the time it takes to move or position the package.

Businesses need to evaluate the productivity of the entire process to choose the right equipment.

3.3. Electronic tension adjustment system

The A88N strapping machine is equipped with the Electronic Tension Control function.

This system supports the adjustment of belt tension according to packaging requirements.

Depending on the wire size, the machine has two tension bands:

• 5mm and 6mm wires: 3–30kg.

• 9mm, 12mm and 15mm wires: 5–70kg.

For cartons that are light or easy to deform, the operator can choose low tension.

For packages that need to be fixed more firmly, it is possible to increase the tension within the allowable limits of the machine and the belt strength.

Adjusting the right tension helps to limit dented boxes, too loose wires, or unnecessary tightening force.

3.4. Supports multiple plastic strap sizes

The JOINPACK A88N can be configured using the following wire gauges:

• 5mm straps.

• 6mm straps.

• 9mm straps.

• 12mm straps.

• 15mm straps.

The ability to support multiple wire sizes helps businesses choose the right packaging specifications for each product group.

For small cartons or light products, 5mm and 6mm wires can be considered.

For larger packages, 9mm, 12mm or 15mm wires can be selected according to bearing requirements.

Note: It is necessary to confirm that the wire size is compatible with the machine configuration. Do not change the wire size without checking the guidance system and wire feeder.

3.5. 650×500mm auto wire guide frame

The A88N is equipped with a standard wire conductor frame measuring 650 × 500mm.

The wire guide frame helps the machine automatically loop the wire around the package, reducing manual operation.

When choosing the frame size, businesses need to pay attention to the maximum width and height of the product.

If the package size exceeds the standard frame limit, a different size wire frame configuration may be considered.

3.6. Looping Ejector Fault Looping Processor

The machine is equipped with the Looping Ejector function, which supports the handling of the looping when problems arise during the strapping cycle.

This feature reduces manual fault wire handling in the right cases.

For businesses that use the machine regularly, the ability to handle faulty loops contributes to limiting production interruption time.

3.7. Short Feeding Sensor

The A88N is equipped with a sensor that detects the condition of a missing wire supply.

When the belt is not sufficiently ejected through the wire guide frame, the system can realize the abnormal state according to the control program.

This is a useful feature to assist in the early detection of faults related to the wiring system.

3.8. Coil End Eject System

During operation, when the coil is almost empty or finished, the remaining coil can make it difficult to load a new coil.

The A88N is equipped with a Coil End Eject System, which supports the handling of the coil end wire.

This function makes the coil replacement process more convenient and reduces manual operation.

3.9. Waist Auto Loading System

JOINPACK A88N has Waist Auto Loading System function.

The system supports the process of feeding belts into the machine, reducing manual wire feeding.

This is a feature that is suitable for businesses with a high frequency of coil replacement or continuous operation requirements.

3.10. Ironbug-free heat sealing system

The A88N uses the Heating Element, or heating rod, to bond the two ends of the plastic straps.

During the strapping process, the heating rod heats the contact area of the two ends of the wire, and then the pressing mechanism creates a joint.

The heat welding method does not require the use of bugs or metal belt buckles.

To ensure the quality of the weld, it is necessary to use the wire correctly and regularly check the condition of the heat bar, pressing mechanism and related parts.

4. Upgrade options of A88N strapping machine

4.1. Top Press – P

The JOINPACK offers the option of a top presser, which assists in holding or stabilizing the bale during strapping.

This option is suitable for consideration for products that need to be fixed in position or restrict displacement when tightening.

4.2. Other size wire conductor frames

In addition to the standard 650 × 500mm frame, the machine can be set according to other frame sizes.

The selection should be based on the actual package size.

4.3. Stainless steel case

Businesses can discuss the configuration of stainless steel cases when they need to use the machine in an environment with unique requirements on case materials.

It is necessary to confirm the version code and availability before placing an order.
