Abstract (en)

Machine (10) and method to make reinforcement cages consisting of a plurality of longitudinal rods (11) connected by transverse stirrups (12). The machine (10) comprises a shaping unit (15) in which the stirrup is formed, a forming station (16) in which the transverse stirrups (11) and the longitudinal rods (11) are attached to each other in order to make the reinforcement cage, and a feed unit (13) which feeds the transverse stirrups (12) in sequence into the forming station (16), in a first direction of feed (D1) substantially transverse with respect to the longitudinal rods (11). The forming station (16) also comprises a mobile positioning unit (19) which accommodates the transverse stirrup (12) fed in the first direction of feed (D1) and moves it towards the longitudinal rods (11) in a second direction of positioning (D2), inclined or angled with respect to the first direction of feed (D1).
