Waveform recordings provide an analytical method of determining the force being developed throughout the
entire stroke of the machine. Each die has its own unique signature, similar to an electro-cardiogram.
Analyzing each of the subtle peak forces developed during the stamping process and comparing current
signatures to previously recorded masters can be an aid in diagnosing or forming of die problems.
Product quality and press speeds are greatly enhanced after making and analyzing waveform
recordings. Many stampers make recordings as a routine part of their start-up procedures when
working with a new or modified die, creating a history of recordings for each job.
