Machine for forming RFID antennas

A machine for forming RFID antennas, comprising:

• a support structure provided with a support for an RFID substrate, and a plurality of forming pegs having vertical axes fixed with respect to the support and arranged above the support to define a predetermined path for a wire configured to form the RFID antenna;
• a wire feeding system comprising a wire guide element and a handling assembly, configured to move the wire guide element along mutually orthogonal horizontal axes to wind the wire at least partially around the plurality of forming pegs and define the path;
• a pair of grippers arranged at ends of the path and operable to assume a closed position, in which the wire is blocked, and an open position, in which the wire is released;
• and
• a movable structure carried by the support structure and provided with a thrust element movable vertically between an upper position in which the wire is allowed to be wound around the plurality of forming pegs and a lower position in which the formed antenna is deposited on the substrate.
