Abstract (en)

Machine (10) and method for producing metal fiber (11) consisting of shaped pieces (12) of metal wire (18), equipped with a hook-shaped end. The machine (10) comprises at least a drawing and shaping assembly, for a plurality of metal wires (18), and a cutting assembly (15), located downstream of said drawing and shaping assembly, in order to perform the cutting to size of the metal wires (18) in order to obtain the shaped pieces (12). The drawing and shaping assembly (14) comprises at least a pair of tracks (20) including or supporting shaping elements (27a, 27b; 127a, 127b) in order to feed and shape the metal wires (18) at least in the terminal segment of their feed towards the cutting assembly (15). The shaping elements comprise blocks (27a, 27b; 127a, 127b) having on their reciprocally facing faces a reciprocally mating conformation such as to impart on the metal wires (18) a shaping reproducing the hook shape.
