Method for generating data during wrapping of a load and wrapping machine

摘要

A method for generating data with a wrapping machine (10) during wrapping of a load (12) includes measuring a length of packaging material (16) dispensed during wrapping of the load (12) with a sensing assembly (27) on the wrapping machine (10). The method further includes obtaining a value indicative of a weight of the packaging material (16) per unit of length and determining a weight of the packaging material (16) dispensed on the wrapped load (12) based on the measured length and the obtained value without removing the packaging material (16) from the load (12). The determined weight of the packaging material (16) is displayed on a display device (42).
