Abstract: A method and machine for producing welded reinforcing steel rod mats for use in the production of DIN-conforming reinforced concrete components having primarily no static loads, and to such a reinforcing steel rod mat, uses a welding device, one or more reinforcing steel rods, and one or more stay braces in the case of uniaxial reinforcing steel mats, positioned relative to each other with position control and optionally with position correction of the reinforcing steel rods to be welded together, and a reinforcing steel rod is welded in the area of at least one of the ribs thereof to a stay brace, or to another reinforcing steel rod in the area of at least one of the ribs of the rod.
