Abstract (en)

The present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing latticework-like wire structures intended as reinforcement structures for beams and girders, such as in particular concrete beams and girders, and the related manufacturing method. An apparatus according to the present invention comprises a first in-feeding unit (1) adapted to supply a plurality of first wires, a second in-feeding unit (2) supplying a plurality of second wires (9) to a forming unit (4) provided with forming means (6) adapted to bend said second wires (9), a welding unit (5) for joining said first and second wires to each other. The apparatus according to the present invention is characterized in that said forming unit (4) comprises cutting means (14) adapted to cut off the second wires (9), and in that a selection unit (3) adapted to select said second wires (9) is provided upstream to said forming unit (4) for selecting said second wires (9) according to the gauge thereof.
