Abstract: A rule generation device according to an embodiment includes: a database in which, for each fault, fault factor information including a fault factor part and a fault factor, fault events that occur due to this fault, a rule ID associated with a rule including a condition part and a result part are registered in association with one another; an importance degree determination unit determining, when fault events of a new fault that is a newly occurred fault are registered with the database, degrees of importance of the fault events of the new fault based on at least one of values calculated through statistical processing or analytical processing for information other than the fault events or overall information about the fault events, which are registered with the database; and a rule generation unit generating a rule for the new fault based on the degrees of importance.

Abstract: [Problem] To make it easy to attach a counterplate to a specified position on a cutting plate, to prevent the counterplate falling from the cutting die during blanking, and to prevent the counterplate from making contact with a sheet. [Solution] The present invention includes: a housing (2) which includes a hole-side inclined portion (21), and in which an accommodation hole is formed; an engaging means (3) which alternates between a lower lock and an upper lock in the housing (2); and a sliding shaft member (4) fitted in the housing. The inside diameter of the upper side of the hole-side inclined portion (21) is larger than the inside diameter of the lower side thereof. The engaging means (3) is disposed above the hole-side inclined portion (21).

Abstract: There is disclosed an alignment device for aligning a counterplate with a die plate. The alignment assembly comprises an elongate alignment pin, the pin being disposed in a mounting body; a spacer member, comprising a spacer portion and a retaining portion for retaining the spacer member to the assembly. The alignment pin, spacer member and/or mounting body are configured such that the pin can be retained in the mounting body in a first, extended, position, and in a second, retracted, position; and the spacer member is preferably retained to the assembly in both the extended and retracted positions of the pin. The pin is also configured to be drawn into an extended position by a setting tool for alignment of the counterplate relative to the die.

Abstract: A balance correction sheet corrects a whole pressure balance of a punching machine, in which a punching die and a cutting plate for receiving blade tips of the punching die are attached to be opposed to each other. A method of forming the balance correction sheets includes attaching a balance correction die having a plurality of punching blades disposed at a predetermined interval to the punching machine, intermediately inserting the blade tips of the punching blades into a middle of laminated sheets formed by laminating peelable sheets so that incisions are formed in a depth direction of the laminated sheets, and partially removing the laminated sheets depending on depths of the incisions so as to prepare the balance correction sheet.

Abstract: The object is to provide a balance correction sheet used for correcting the whole pressure balance of a punching machine. A balance correction die (20) for a punching machine has a configuration in which a plurality of punching blades are disposed on a substrate (21), the punching blades are configured from belt-shaped first blades (25) disposed parallel to each other, and second blades (26) disposed at predetermined intervals in the direction traversing between the first blades (25), the protrusion heights of the punching blades (25, 26) are equal, and by the entry of the edges of the punching blades (25, 26) into the middle of a laminated sheet (10) formed by laminating peelable sheets, cuts are formed in the depth direction of the laminated sheet (10) that serves as a balance correction sheet for the punching machine.

Abstract: A positioning-jig 1 used to mount a face plate 15 on the female-die 21, and the positioning-jig 1 comprises a female-part 2 which has a concave part and is attached into the positioning-holes 24 at the male-die 22 detachably, a male-part 6 which comprises an axial part inserted detachably into the concave part of the female-part and a dish-shaped head part connected to the axial part, and further provides a positioning method comprising the following steps; set the positioning-jigs 1 on each positioning-holes 24 and set the marking-members 12 on each positioning-jigs 1; and test run the stamping machine to attaches the male-die 22 and the female-die 21, and adhered the marking-members 12 on the female-die 21; and adhered the face plate 15 on the female-die 21 for the marking-members 12 inside each through-holes.

Abstract: A positioning-jig 42 is cylindrical shape and chamfered at the top side; wherein a bottom side inner diameter of the positioning-jig 42 is larger than outer diameter of the marking-member 12, and the bottom side outer diameter of the positioning-jig 42 is same or slightly smaller than the through-holes 20 belongs to the face plate 15.
