Abstract: This relates to an applied force monitor which is associated with sheet material forming mechanisms so as to determine whether sheet material is being properly formed by the amount of force applied in the formation thereof. A typical force applying member would be a cam. Suitable strain gauges are associated with the force applying member with the strain gauges being coupled in a bridge having a voltage output which is indicative of the applied force and which is directed to a microcomputer into which suitable indicia is selectively fed and such indicia will include high and low forces which would be indicative of a fault. The microcomputer includes a memory in which the faults are stored and in addition to indicating when individual faults do occur, the memory, when excess faults are determined, will serve to shut down the associated machine. Data may be visually displayed or may be permanently recorded by way of a printer.

Abstract: A self-contained data acquisition device or probe capable of monitoring any physical function that can be translated into an analog or digital signal. Examples of the physical functions which could be monitored include data from pasturizers, retorts, rotating shaft equipment, or furnaces and ovens. The data acquisition probe is coupled to a separate translator whereat the stored analog or digital voltage signals are transferred to the translator to be coupled to a display device for displaying the voltage signals. In a specific embodiment, when measuring the temperature of a can in an oven, a self-contained batteryoperated data acquiring device is supported from the can conveyor adjacent to and electrically coupled with a can having a thermocouple attached thereto. The voltage output from the thermocouple is monitored by the data probe at predetermined time intervals, and the data is stored in its internal memory. After the probe immerges from the oven, its data is transferred to a translator which converts the information to a display signal for display on standard recorders. Since the transport velocity is known, a plot of temperature verses time can be converted into one of temperature versus position within the oven.
