Fine-blanking Punch Force Measurements processing case hardening steel 16MnCr5

This dataset was generated at the Manufacturing Technology Institute - MTI of RWTH Aachen University. The data originates from a fine-blanking machine, with each operation, or stroke, represented by a time series of the applied punch force measured by piezoelectric sensors integrated into the tool. The data was collected during an experiment consisting of 33,960 strokes to observe changes in force signals as tool components experienced wear. The material used was 4 mm thick case-hardening steel 16MnCr5, processed at a rate of 120 strokes per minute.
