Abstract: Turret-type rotary rod-feeder machine located upstream of a user machine such as a straightener machine, shears and/or bending and shaping machine, the rod-feeder machine being suitable to bear rolls of rod made with a hot or cold process for reinforced concrete and comprising a rotary support (22), which has a substantially vertical axis of rotation (17) and bears along a circumference at least two reels (11) holding rolls (15) of rod and having their axis of rotation substantially parallel to the axis of rotation (17) of the rotary support (22), each reel (11) cooperating with a specific stand (13) that engages and guides the rod.

Abstract: Shears unit positioned immediately upstream of a bending assembly (13) comprising a bending disk (19) and support means (15) to change the reciprocal positions of a contrast roll (20) and a section or sections (11) in a bending-shaping machine, the shears unit including a stationary blade support (33) positioned astride and above a part of the bending disk (19), the blade support (33) bearing and positioning a laterally shearing stationary blade (34), which cooperates with a laterally displaceable blade holder (30).
