The wire clamp mechanism of the present invention uses a piezoelectric element that makes a small displacement in the length direction by applying a voltage as the driving source for opening and closing the movable clamp plate, and uses a link mechanism to magnify the minute displacement of this piezoelectric element to open and close the movable clamp plate. Since the clamp mechanism is configured to operate, the entire clamp mechanism can be made compact, lightweight, and quick in response, which is effective in speeding up the indexing time. Moreover, in the wire clamp mechanism that uses a piezoelectric element as a drive source, the clamping force due to the piezoelectric element is constant, but the clamping force can be easily adjusted by adjusting the elastic body that biases the movable clamp plate with the clamping force control unit. This eliminates the conventional problem of having to change the clamping mechanism itself when changing the clamping force.

In a wire clamp mechanism in which a wire inserted between a pair of wire clamping pieces is clamped by the closing action of a movable clamp plate, a piezoelectric material that is slightly displaced in the length direction by the application of voltage is used as the driving source for opening and closing the movable clamp plate. A link mechanism is provided between the piezoelectric element and the movable clamp plate to operate the movable clamp plate in the opening direction or the closing direction by magnifying the minute displacement of the piezoelectric element using the principle of leverage. 1. A wire clamping mechanism comprising: an elastic body that biases the wire in a closing direction or an opening direction; and a clamping force control section that adjusts the elastic body to change the wire clamping force.
