The invention relates to the technical field of building material construction machinery and discloses a reinforcement cage forming machine. The reinforcement cage forming machine comprises a movable rack, rotating racks, a fixed rack, a stirrup pay-off device, a second moving mechanism and a rotating mechanism, a first fixed disc plate is installed on the movable rack, the movable rack can be driven by the second moving mechanism to move in the X-axis direction straightly, and a second fixed disc plate is installed on the fixed rack. According to the reinforcement cage forming machine, the structure is reasonable, a main steel bar is fixed in the machining process, so that a stirrup is wound on the main steel bar spirally, rotating equipment which is large in size is not needed to be used, the fabrication cost of the reinforcement cage forming machine is reduced, the floor area is reduced, so that the reinforcement cage forming machine is low in fabrication cost, small in floor area and high in fabrication efficiency, meanwhile, the two rotating racks are adopted, so that the reinforcement cage forming machine can drive two stirrups to rotate in the positive direction and in the negative direction respectively, the net-shaped stirrups of a spiral structure are formed on the main steel bar, and the external pressure bearing capacity of a finished reinforcement cage is greatly improved.
