Lesson 1Typical instrumentation and monitoring points: pressure, flow, temperature, contamination sensors, and vibration/noise sensorsThis part defines tools for watching press hydraulics, including pressure, flow, temperature, dirt, vibration, and noise. It shows where to put sensors, their ranges, signal kinds, and how data helps find problems and plan fixes ahead.
