At the 3 GeV RCS (Rapid Cycling Synchrotron) in J-PARC (Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex), the scheme of H$$^{-}$$ charge exchange injection using stripping foils is adopted. The charge exchange system is composed of three stripping foil devices. The first stripping foil device, which converts the H$$^{+}$$ beam from the 181 MeV LINAC into the H$$^{+}$$ beam, can replace the broken foil with new one in vacuum remotely and automatically. In September 2007, mechanical trouble with the first stripping foil device had occurred just before the RCS beam commissioning was started. The magnetic coupling of the transfer rod had been decoupled and the transfer rod had been broken which was caught in the vacuum gate valve. We studied the trouble cause, re-examined the structural design and the selection for the material, and then verified the specification from endurance tests with sample pieces. Then the improved device was installed in the ring in September 2008.
