PM can be set by machine or die. If set up by
die, the PM settings will be tracked regardless of
which machine the die is run on. For example, if a
stroke based PM setting is applied to a die with a
limit of 20000 strokes, then 10000 strokes run on
machine 1234 and 10000 strokes run on machine
1100 will cause the limit to be reached.
The actual configuration by machine or by die is
identical except that dies have a default PM item -
“Strokes”. This item can be reset and the limit can
be changed but it may not be deleted. If the limit is
zero (the default) then this item will never “come
due”. The number of strokes accumulated under
this item is printed on tonnage signature printouts to
give an idea of how far into the service cycle the die
was when the hit was made.
