The band clamping machine (11) of the present invention is capable of securely, automatically and efficiently clamping a metallic clamping band (1, 10). The band clamping machine (11) clamps a metallic band (1, 10) having: a band section (2); a lever (4) capable of reducing inner diameter of the looped band section (2); and a pair of fixing pieces (5a) for holding the lever (4). It comprises: a diameter reduction mechanism (20) having a clamping arm (25) capable of turning down the lever (4); an arm driving mechanism (26, 30) moving the clamping arm (25) so as to turn down the lever (4), the arm driving mechanism (26, 30) including: a first mechanism (30) for moving the clamping arm (25) from an initial position to a mid position, and a second mechanism (26) for moving the clamping arm (25) from the mid position to a final position; and a fixing mechanism (22) bending the fixing pieces (5a) inward so as to fix the lever (4) at the position between the fixing pieces (5a). <IMAGE> |
