An arrangement for assembling cables includes a cable processing machine, the machine having at least one and preferably a plurality of processing stations, and a mobile cable connection module. The cable connection module has a holding device by which the cable connection module can hold a cable to be processed, and the cable connection module is adapted to be connected, together with the cable, to the cable processing machine of the arrangement.

Rebar, also referred to as reinforcing bar, is typically used to reinforce concrete to improve the tensile strength of elements made of concrete when constructing buildings, factories, bridges, nuclear power plants and other structures. There is a method of constructing an array (711) of rebars, the method comprising: automatically positioning a plurality of rebar such that they are spaced apart from one another to form an array (711); using an array interval spacing means (709) to maintain the spatial relationship of the rebar in the array; releasing the array from the array interval spacing means such that the array is placed in a target location and orientation for casting into concrete; and removing the array interval spacing means.

Pick-up device (10) configured to selectively pick up and extract at least one bar (B) from a plurality of bars (B) disposed on a feed plane (111) and to position it on a delivery plane (12), said pick-up device (10) comprising a support arm (11) terminally provided with a pick-up head (12). The present invention also concerns an apparatus (100) for feeding bars (B) comprising the device (10) as above and a corresponding method for picking up bars (B).

The loading assembly for oblong elements, in particular metal elements, includes a movable selector member and a chute associated with the selector member. The loading assembly is associated with a transfer seat to collect a number of elements loaded on the chute by means of the selector member.
