Method for
strapping objects, comprising the following steps: • Transporting an object (7, 7') by means of at least one conveyor device (13, 14) to a
strapping station, • Forming at least one loop of a
strapping band (2) around the object (7, 7') by means of a strapping device, • Connecting the ends of the loop together, • Detecting the position of the object (7, 7') by at least one position detecting means (17, 18, 19), • a detection device detects the conveying direction and conveying distance of the conveying device (13,14), • the signals of the detection device and the position detection means (17, 18, 19) are transmitted to a
control unit (11), • the
control unit (11) controls the conveyor device (13, 14) on the basis of the transmitted signals in such a way that the object (7, 7') is transported into at least one strapping position in which the loop of strapping band (2) is formed on the object (7, 7') at a predetermined loop position, • at least one property of the object (7, 7') is recognized by a recognition device (20), • Data specifying the property of the object (7, 7') are forwarded to the
control unit (11) and • the control unit (11) determines at least one target value for the loop position from the data specifying the property of the object (7, 7'), characterized by the following steps: • Storing data sets with target values for the strapping parameters in a
data memory (29) which is connected to the control unit (11); • Selection of a
data set with target values for the strapping parameters by the control unit (11) for each strapping process, wherein the
data set is selected by the control unit (11) on the basis of the data specifying the at least one property of the object (7, 7').
