Abstract
A method includes obtaining stamping system data from a stamping system data controller and vibration data from one or more vibration sensors disposed at the conduit; selecting a baseline vibration threshold and a frequency filter from among a plurality of frequency filters based on the stamping system data; generating a plurality of measured vibration values based on the vibration data and the frequency filter, where each measured vibration value from among the plurality of measured vibration values is associated with a given iteration from among a plurality of iterations of a stamping process; determining whether the conduit is in an obstructed state based on a comparison between a set of measured vibration values from among the plurality of measured vibration values and the baseline vibration threshold; and performing a corrective action in response to the conduit being in the obstructed state.
