Abstract: A bending head for welded wire mesh includes a frame, a bending face to be moved relative to the frame for bending a wire in a welded wire mesh, a counterholder on which the wire can be braced during bending by the bending face, a bending die which, at least in part, has a predefined bending radius, a bending arm on which the bending face is arranged, and an arm drive device with which the bending arm can be adjusted relative to the frame. A support is provided at and/or on which the bending arm is movably mounted. A support drive device, with which the support can be adjusted relative to the frame and which is separate from the arm drive device, is provided.

Abstract: Method for continuously producing a mesh-type support by welding a lower member arrangement, which comprises at least one lower member, in particular two lower members, and an upper member, which is arranged at a specific height in relation to the lower member arrangement, and has at least one diagonal member running back and forth between the at least one lower member and the upper member, in particular in a zigzagging form, wherein the welding of the at least one lower member and the upper member to the at least one diagonal member is performed by means of a lower-member welding device and an upper-member welding device, wherein the height of the upper member in relation to the lower member arrangement is changed during the continuous production of the mesh-type support. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out the method.
