In a design support system which can refer to figure element data contained in another design file, when an element ID of figure element data targeted for reference is changed or lost, a CPU retrieves a name allotted to the figure element data by a designer, the figure element data itself, one to which work instruction data matches or one having a high degree of similarity, to specify figure element data targeted for reference in order to provide a design support system which can easily specify a subject to be referenced, improve designing efficiency and enhance overall benefit and convenience.

System for supporting reuse of history records of design work

In a can seamer, after a control mode of a drive motor has been switched to a type-changing mode, if an action button is depressed, in response to signals issued from a rotational position sensor, the drive motor moves can seaming mechanisms one pitch by one pitch via a center shaft and stops at predetermined positions. At the stopped position, an actuator is operated to depress the top end of a seaming roll shaft. By this operation, a gap clearance is formed between a rotary frame and a seaming lever. When seaming rolls are dismounted and replaced, the seaming lever connected with a seaming chuck via a bracket is removed, and thereby a type-changing work can be carried out. In addition, in the type-changing work of the can seamer, the vertical positional adjustment in a fitting between a seaming lever and seaming rolls is easily carried out. Furthermore, the knock-out pad can be replaced in a one-touch operation.

Can seamer

At the stopped position, an actuator is operated to depress the top end of a seaming roll shaft. By this operation, a gap clearance is formed between a rotary frame and a seaming lever. Then seaming rolls are dismounted and replaced. The seaming lever connected with a seaming chuck via a bracket is removed, and thereby a type-changing work can be carried out. In addition, in the type-changing work of the can seamer, the vertical positional adjustment in a fitting between a seaming lever and seaming rolls is easily carried out. Furthermore, the knock-out pad can be replaced in a one-touch operation.

The known can seamer is improved so that replacement and adjustment of seaming rolls, a seaming chuck and a knock-out pad may be facilitated at the time of type-change work or the like in a can seamer. In the improved can seamer, after a control mode of a drive motor has been switched to a type-changing mode, if an action button is depressed, in response to signals issued from a rotational position sensor, the drive motor moves can seaming mechanisms one pitch by one pitch via a center shaft and makes them stop at predetermined positions. At the stopped position, an actuator is operated to depress the top end of a seaming roll shaft. By this operation, a gap clearance is formed between a rotary frame and a seaming lever, then seaming rolls and are mounted, also the seaming lever connected with a seaming chuck via a bracket is removed, and thereby a type-changing work can be carried out. In addition, in the type-changing work of a can seamer, it has been made possible to carry out vertical position adjustment in the fitting between a seaming lever and seaming rolls easily. Furthermore, in the type-changing work of a can seamer, it has been made possible to replace a knock-out pad by a one-touch operation.
