Abstract
A positioning device for arranging elongated workpieces, such as wire pieces which are to be worked up into headed nails, and the use of such a device in a wire-working machine, includes at least one positioning tool for displacing at least one workpiece in its axial direction by a predetermined distance. The tool is a rigid body which is displaceable parallel to its longitudinal direction. The positioning device may include an additional positioning tool to push the workpieces slightly backward, to compensate for any tolerances in the nominal length of the workpieces of each batch of workpieces.
