Abstract
A strapping machine is disclosed which enables the operation cams such as the press cam, the heater cam, the slide cam and the like as well as the cam driving motor to be miniaturized, and which is capable of diminishing damages on the operation cams to realize prolonged lives of the cams and hence optimally eliminating cumbersome maintenance operations such as replacement of the cams, and yet whose structure can be rendered simple and inexpensive as a whole, and which enables energy saving to be realized. The strapping machine comprises a band feeding/tightening means F for feeding/tightening a band B to be looped around a periphery of an object to be strapped and the like operation; a band leading end treating means K including a mechanism for conducting a procedure which includes holding, pressing, fusing, cutting the band B and the like operation by actions of a plurality of cams 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26; and a cam driving stepping motor M2 for driving said cams 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26.
