A manufacturing machine (15) and a method for producing a cartridge (3) for an electronic cigarette (1) comprising a supporting base (4), a pair of power electrodes (6) fitted to the supporting base (4), and a heating member (8) folded into a "U" around the power electrodes (6); are provided: a conveyor (32) comprising a pocket (33) for feeding the supporting base (4) fitted with the power electrodes (6) along a conveying path (P1); a connecting unit (50) which connects the heating member (8) to the power electrodes (6) while the supporting base (4), fitted with the power electrodes (6), is housed inside the pocket (33) on the conveyor (32); a welding device (51) located along the conveyor (32) to weld a pair of terminals (11) of a heat resistor (10) of the heating member (8) to the corresponding power electrodes (6); and a folding device (57), which cooperates with the connecting unit (50) and folds the heating member (8) into a 'U' before the heating member (8) is connected to the power electrodes (6). |
