Abstract

In lifting and transport operations with rolling products, the quality of the strapping is of great importance. An important role here is played by the method of connecting the ends of the strapping material. Due to its successful shape and high load-bearing capacity, the “braid” wire knot is today the most promising way to connect the ends of the binding wire in automated tying of heavy-duty riots. The absence of protruding elements makes this type of assembly less vulnerable to contact with surrounding objects. For effective design of the mechanism for the formation of the “braid” knot, it is necessary to express the dependence of the torque on the geometric parameters of the knot, the mechanical properties of the wire material and the knot formation conditions.
