1. A machine for producing a metal mesh reinforcement from interconnected metal profiles, wherein the metal mesh reinforcement has multiple longitudinal profiles and one winding profile, wherein the machine has a device and a driven, rotatable main wheel for receiving multiple longitudinal profiles, wherein the device comprises a welding unit for welding a longitudinal profile to the winding profile at a connecting point of two interconnected metal profiles and a feed unit for feeding a portion of the winding profile, provided from a master coil, to the welding unit, wherein the feed unit comprises a cutting arrangement for severing the winding profile in order to separate a profile portion of the winding profile from the master coil, wherein the cutting arrangement is located in a cutting region of the device that is remote from the welding unit, wherein the device is configured, after the winding profile has been severed, to feed an end portion of the winding profile that was separated from the master coil from the cutting region to the welding unit and at least one further weld is made between a separated end portion of the winding profile and a longitudinal profile to complete the metal mesh reinforcement, wherein the feed unit comprises an advancing arrangement with a drive unit for a driven movement of the winding profile in a longitudinal direction of the winding profile, wherein the advancing arrangement is designed to move, from among multiple winding profiles provided next to one another in the feed unit, one of the multiple provided winding profiles to the welding unit in a driven manner by means of the drive unit, wherein the advancing arrangement is designed to move, from among multiple winding profiles provided next to one another in the feed unit, precisely one of the multiple provided winding profiles to the welding unit in a driven manner by means of the drive unit.
