A wire rod disposing device comprising:
- a wire rod delivering mechanism configured to deliver a wire rod from a nozzle at a predetermined speed;
- a member support part configured to support a disposition target member such that the wire rod is routed after the wire rod is delivered from the nozzle and curved;
- and
- a tension application mechanism configured to apply tension to the wire rod, the wire rod being routed to the disposition target member by being delivered from the nozzle, wherein
- the tension application mechanism has:
- a wire rod guide in contact with a curvature-inner side of the wire rod, the wire rod being curved;
- and
- an elastic member configured to bias the wire rod guide such that the wire rod guide is moved towards a curvature-outer side of the wire rod.
A wire rod disposition method of routing a wire rod to a disposition target member by causing the wire rod to be curved, the wire rod being delivered from a nozzle at a predetermined speed, the method comprising:
- a step of applying tension to the wire rod by biasing a wire rod guide towards a curvature-outer side of the wire rod, the wire rod guide being in contact with a curvature-inner side of the wire rod, and the wire rod being delivered from the nozzle, and
- a step of routing the wire rod to the disposition target member, the tension being applied to the wire rod.
