A clamp apparatus including first and second clamp arms, which are supported rotatably on a body, with a cover being installed to cover outer sides of the body. The cover includes openings through which portions of the first and second clamp arms are inserted and rotatably operated. An unloading tray is arranged in the body at a position below the openings in the direction of gravity. Spatter, which invades into the clamp apparatus from the openings when a welding operation is carried out on a workpiece that is clamped by the first and second clamp arms, is deposited on the unloading tray, and the spatter is eliminated by taking out the unloading tray to the exterior of the clamp apparatus. |

1. A clamp apparatus in which, by rotation of a pair of clamp arms, a workpiece is clamped between one of the clamp arms and another of the clamp arms, comprising:
a body; a drive unit disposed on the body and which outputs a driving force along an axial direction; a pair of clamp arms supported rotatably on the body, the clamp arms being arranged face-to-face with each other; a driving force transmission mechanism, which transmits a driving force of the drive unit to the clamp arms, to thereby cause rotation of the clamp arms; a cover member disposed detachably with respect to the body, and which covers the drive unit and a portion of the clamp arms; and an unloading tray disposed inside of the cover member at a position below the clamp arms in the direction of gravity, the unloading tray being removable from the body. |
