The invention relates to a method for producing lattice girders (1) from wires, wherein the lattice girders (1) comprise: chords, with a lower chord arrangement having at least one lower chord (2), in particular two lower chords (2), and an upper chord (3) which is arranged at a specific height (H) relative to the lower chord arrangement; and at least one, in particular two,
diagonal chords (4) which extend, for example, in a zigzag manner back and forth between the lower chord arrangement and the upper chord (3), wherein the wires for the chords are fed in a forward direction (V), and the at least one
diagonal chord (4) is welded to the lower chord arrangement and to the upper chord (3), wherein the height (H) is adjusted to produce lattice girders of different heights. In order to achieve efficient production of lattice girders in a simple manner, according to the invention, in order to adjust the height (H) between successive lattice girders (1), a completed
lattice girder (1) is positioned with a feed-side end (6) at a
cutting position (5), whereupon the height (H) is adjusted, after which the completed
lattice girder (1) is severed, and the severed wires are retracted in a reverse direction (R) in order to produce the next
lattice girder (1) with the adjusted height (H). The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out such a method.
