There are some shortcomings in domestic pallet strapping machine, such as lacking of high quality equipment and low production efficiency, etc. This paper aims to study the key techniques of the pallet strapping machine. Based on experience at home and abroad, the design scheme of the vertical pallet strapping machine was proposed. The working principle of the machine was analyzed, with focus on the working principle and drive system of strapping head. The working cycle diagram of the executing mechanism was designed based on PLC and cam control. Strapping component was optimized based on Ansys. In the simulated analysis, the maximum stress of strapping head was 128.34 MPa and maximum deformation 0.266 mm, which met the requirement on strength and accuracy of mechanism design. In conclusion, the vertical pallet strapping machine with high performance is successfully designed and can be applied to the actual production.
