Abstract
An electronic system to monitor the performance of a pneumatic impact forming tool is disclosed. A signal is generated in real time representing the actuating pressure of the pneumatic tool. Electronic functions operate on the real time pressure signal over a predetermined time portion of each work cycle of the pneumatic tool to generate signals representative of the energy and friction developed in the pneumatic tool during the predetermined time portions of one or more work cycles. The electronic system additionally provides a count of the number of work cycles generated by the pneumatic tool during operation thereof.
