A spinning station for an apparatus for manufacturing reinforcement meshes, comprising: - a spinner head unit adapted during use to spin a first and a second wire around a reinforcement rod and to subsequently form a wire spacer formed by spinning said two wires around one another; - an upper wire coil, and a lower wire coil, respectively, said upper wire coil supplying said first wire and said lower wire coil supplying said second wire; wherein said lower wire coil is mounted on said spinner head unit; - a support extending above said spinner head unit; wherein said upper wire coil is mounted to said support; - feeding means adapted for introducing a reinforcement rod between said first and second wires from a position behind said spinner head unit to a position in front of said spinner head unit; - a first rod having a first end and a second opposing end, wherein said first end is hingedly connected to said support; and - a first guide wheel rotatably mounted on the second end of said rod; wherein said first wire is looped around said first guide wheel, whereby said first guide wheel functions as a wire brake; characterized in that the support extends behind said spinner head unit; and wherein the spinning station further comprises a cylinder unit operably connected to said first rod and configured to control the spatial position of said first guide wheel by acting on said first rod; wherein said cylinder unit, during use and by acting on said first rod, is configured to position said first guide wheel in a first position where the part of said first wire extending between said spinner head unit and said first guide wheel is relatively tightened, and to position said first guide wheel in a second position where the part of said first wire extending between said spinner head unit and said first guide wheel is relatively loosened; wherein the first position of said first guide wheel is used when the spinner head unit is operating to form the wire spacer, and the second position of said first guide wheel is used during the loading operation when the reinforcement rod, while being in contact with the first wire, is guided underneath the first wire by the feeding means in a sliding motion. - a spinner head unit adapted during use to spin a first and a second wire around a reinforcement rod and to subsequently form a wire spacer formed by spinning said two wires around one another; - an upper wire coil, and a lower wire coil, respectively, said upper wire coil supplying said first wire and said lower wire coil supplying said second wire; wherein said lower wire coil is mounted on said spinner head unit; - a support extending above said spinner head unit; wherein said upper wire coil is mounted to said support; - feeding means adapted for introducing a reinforcement rod between said first and second wires from a position behind said spinner head unit to a position in front of said spinner head unit; - a first rod having a first end and a second opposing end, wherein said first end is hingedly connected to said support; and - a first guide wheel rotatably mounted on the second end of said rod; wherein said first wire is looped around said first guide wheel, whereby said first guide wheel functions as a wire brake;
