Elastic Cord Binding Machine EW-2360

Description

Feature

Slipknot fastening — non-damaging, re-openable bundle for pressure-sensitive items

The EW-2360 uses a slipknot (adjustable loop) fastening method, meaning every bundle can be released cleanly with a single pull without cutting tools or residual marks on the product. This non-destructive release characteristic makes the machine the correct choice for pressure-sensitive or retail-presentation items — socks and hosiery packs, pharmaceutical boxes, printed matter, and consumer electronics packaging — where heat-seal straps, plastic cable ties, or staple-close bands would leave compression marks, restrict contents, or complicate end-user opening. Slipknot bundles also allow recipients to reuse the cord, supporting sustainable packaging requirements.

3,600 cycles per hour — high-throughput automatic bundling

The EW-2360 completes one full elastic cord binding cycle in one second — delivering a rated throughput of up to 3,600 bundling cycles per hour in continuous operation. This output replaces the work of 6–8 manual operators performing equivalent hand-tying tasks, with consistent knot tension on every cycle regardless of operator fatigue. For production environments handling high daily volumes of packaged goods (printed catalogues, boxed hardware, stacked circuit boards), this throughput rate provides a measurable payback on equipment investment within weeks of deployment.

Dual activation modes — integrated touch sensor & foot-pedal strapping

Two activation methods are built into the EW-2360 as standard: a touch-activated trigger for tabletop item placement workflows, and a foot-pedal for hands-free activation when both hands are needed to position items in the binding area. Both modes are available simultaneously — operators choose the most ergonomic method for each product type without reconfiguring the machine. This dual-mode design significantly reduces cycle time per piece in manual-feed workflows and is standard across all EW-2360 units without optional add-ons.

Adjustable cord tension — wide bundling range for variable item dimensions

Cord tension is continuously adjustable to match the compression tolerance of different items — from rigid hardware and stacked boards (higher tension) to compressible socks, foam-packaged electronics, or loose printed matter (lower tension). The 1–1.5mm elastic resistance cord accommodates items up to 145mm in height on the 280mm work surface, covering the majority of standard consumer product packaging heights. Tension calibration requires no tools and is accessible from the operator station during production.

Industrial-grade core mechanics — high-strength, wear-resistant, anti-deformation components

The EW-2360's binding head mechanism is fabricated from specialist materials with surface treatments for high-cycle wear resistance, preventing the deformation and dimensional drift that reduce knot consistency in lower-specification machines over extended production runs. The main circuit board uses imported electronic components selected for stable performance across ambient temperature, humidity, and vibration conditions typical of production floor environments — ensuring electrical performance is unaffected by seasonal climate variation or machine proximity to vibrating equipment.

PLC-compatible signal expansion interface — seamless automated line integration

The EW-2360 main board includes reserved signal expansion interfaces designed for integration with PLC controllers, conveyor triggers, robotic loading systems, and MES production monitoring platforms. This interface allows the machine to receive start/stop signals from upstream processes and output completion signals to downstream handling equipment — enabling fully automatic hands-free bundling cycles within integrated production lines. Compatible with standard industrial signal protocols (24VDC I/O); wiring specification available on request.

Application Range

Printing & publishing — The EW-2360 is used in printing and publishing operations to bundle stacked books, magazines, catalogues, and card sets with elastic cord that exerts no sharp pressure on coated or embossed covers, preserving print quality and surface finish from bindery through to retail display. The slipknot release enables recipients to open bundled sets without tools.

Textiles & hosiery manufacturing — The EW-2360 is used in textile and hosiery manufacturing to bundle paired socks, folded garments, and fabric samples with elastic cord that conforms to the compressible material without leaving indentation marks or restricting the folded form. The 1-second cycle rate matches the output speed of automated folding and pairing lines in high-volume hosiery and knitwear facilities.

Electronics & PCB assembly — The EW-2360 is used in electronics manufacturing to bundle stacked circuit boards, component kits, and connector assemblies with low-tension elastic cord that avoids the mechanical stress and electrostatic risks associated with plastic cable ties or adhesive straps. Compatible with anti-static cord variants for ESD-sensitive component bundling.

Food & beverage packaging — The EW-2360 is used in food processing and packaging to bundle dried goods (noodles, snack bars), bottled sets, and retail food gift packs with food-safe elastic cord, providing a re-openable bundle that consumers can release without scissors. The machine's enclosed cord feed system prevents cord contact with product surfaces during the binding cycle.

Hardware & industrial components — The EW-2360 is used in hardware distribution and light industrial assembly to bundle fastener sets, tool packs, and component kits with elastic cord at the point of kitting or outbound despatch, replacing manual tie-and-cut operations at packaging stations.

Pharmaceutical & medical product packaging — The EW-2360 is used in pharmaceutical packaging to bundle medicine box sets and medical device accessory kits with elastic cord that maintains bundle integrity without crushing or deforming product packaging — critical for boxed products with fragile foil seals, blister packs, or printed outer cartons.

Wood products & crafts — The EW-2360 is used in wood product manufacturing and craft supply operations to bundle dowels, moulding lengths, and packaged craft material sets with elastic cord, providing a portable, re-openable bundle format for retail sale or trade distribution.
