(54)	Machine for cutting and press-forming material fed in the form of wire

(57) A machine (1) for cutting and press-forming material fed in the form of wire, which comprises a supporting structure (2) which supports elements (24,25) for intermittently feeding material in the form of wire (60) in an advancement direction. The supporting structure (2) supports, so as to allow sliding in a first sliding direction which is substantially parallel to the advancement direction, a first assembly (3) which is provided with a holder (4) for at least one punch which faces a forming die. Elements for cutting the material in the form of wire fed by the feeder into segments of preset length are arranged between the forming die and the at least one punch. Actuators are provided for actuating the first assembly (3) with a reciprocating motion along the first sliding direction with respect to the supporting structure (2). The feeder comprises at least one pair of counter-rotating rollers (24,25) which are arranged within the dimensions of the first assembly (3) in a direction which is parallel to the first sliding direction.
