Abstract
An improved cycle monitor is disclosed for measuring the peak force exerted by a machine in each of a series of operating cycles. The force exerted by the machine is measured and applied to a peak detector which stores a signal proportional to the highest force exerted by the machine. The peak detector is automatically reset at the beginning of each cycle and the peak detector output is transferred to and stored in a suitable utilizing device, such as a display and alarm circuit, after the highest pressure occurs in each cycle.
