Zusammenfassung:A powered banding device (100) includes a housing and a plurality of gripping rollers (133, 137) within the housing (112) that are configured to pull a tail end of a band through a feed slot (124) as the gripping rollers (133, 137) rotate. The device (100) also includes torque circuitry coupled to an electric motor (104) driving the plurality of gripping rollers (133, 137), which the torque circuitry is configured to calculate a torque on the band using a motor current to determine when to stop pulling. A roller pin (126) is configured to move through a roller slot (130) after the electric motor (104) stops pulling to form a fold in the band as the roller pin (126) moves to an end of a downward curved portion of the roller slot (130). A cutter blade (156) behind the roller pin (126) follows the roller pin (126) and cuts the band above the roller pin (126) and flattens a cut end over a buckle (152) of the band.
