A system for manufacturing a reinforcement bar structure, wherein the system comprises a supply of reinforcement bar material, a bending apparatus, a holding apparatus and a group of robots wherein at least one robot of the group of robots is equipped with the tool for manufacturing a reinforcement bar structure. A method for transporting and attaching a reinforcement bar during manufacturing of a reinforcement bar structure using a tool comprising a main body, the method comprising gripping a reinforcement bar, tying together the reinforcement bar with another reinforcement bar by looping a wire around the reinforcement bars, tightening the wire around the reinforcement bars, forming a knot, and cutting the wire.

It provides a reinforcing bar binding machine that allows binding objects such as reinforcing bars to be bound by wires with end portions of the wires directed to the binding object side. The reinforcing bar binding machine (1A) includes: a magazine (2A) in which two wires (W) are housed in a drawable manner; a curl guide unit (5A) that winds the juxtaposed wires (W) around the reinforcing bars (S); a wire feeding unit (3A) that winds the wires (W) around the reinforcing bars (S) with the curl guide unit (5A) in an operation of juxtaposing and feeding the wires (W) and winds the wires (W), which is wound around the reinforcing bars (S), around the reinforcing bars (S); and a binding unit (7A) that twists crossing portions of one end side and the other end side of each of the wires (W) wound around the reinforcing bars (S). The binding unit (7A) includes a bending portion (71) that bends the one end side and the other end side of each of the wires (W), which are wound around the reinforcing bars (S), toward the reinforcing bars (S).

In addition, the binding machine includes a binding unit that twists crossing portions of one end side and the other end side of each of the wires wound around the reinforcing bars. The binding unit further includes a bending portion that bends the one end side and the other end side of each of the wires, which are wound around the reinforcing bars, toward the reinforcing bars.

A knot plate (1) for a tying machine (3) is described. The knot plate (1) is designed as a substantially circular disc, wherein the knot plate (1) comprises: an aperture (5) arranged substantially in the middle of the knot plate (1), wherein the aperture (5) comprises a substantially circular form, and two through slots (7, 9) for receiving of a binding wire (11) arranged in the knot plate (1) substantially on opposite sides of each other in relation to the aperture (5). The knot plate (1) comprises two grooves (13, 15) for receiving the binding wire, wherein each of the two grooves (13, 15) connects one respective through slot (7, 9) of the two through slots (7, 9) with the aperture (5), each of the two grooves (13, 15) ends in the aperture (5) in a direction that coincides with substantially tangential directions of the aperture (5) so that initially the binding wire substantially follows a wall of the substantially circular formed aperture (5). A tying machine (3) comprising a knot plate (1) is also described.
