ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for punching out a plurality of parts from a tape-like member including the parts to be punched out and positioning holes. The method and apparatus execute the steps of: a capturing step for capturing one after another an image of at least one positioning hole and a corresponding part; a position detecting step for detecting a positional relation between the positioning hole and the part based on the captured image; an adjusting step for adjusting, based on the positional relation, a position of the die set relative to the positioning pin when the part is set on the die set, so that a cutting-plane line is arranged along a contour of the part; and a punching out step for punching out the part by the die set after placing the part on the die set with the positioning pin being inserted into the positioning hole.
