An apparatus for controlling the opening/closing of a mechanism for clamping a work machined by a numerically controlled machine tool, comprising a driver for the clamping mechanism. The apparatus controls the opening/closing of the clamping mechanism on the basis of measured data on the distance of a main shaft provided in the machine body from the origin position of the machine, measured data on the moving speed of the main shaft, coordinate values of a clamp pawl of the clamping mechanism and data on a region where the clamping mechanism is opened.
