(under the class definition) Device including means to bring one or more parts to a halt after a tool has carried out a fixed (but not necessarily unalterable) plurality of tool cycles*.
(1) Note. Where the part stopped is a cutter, the tool cycle of reference is the cycle of such cutter itself, not that of another cutter operating on a different cycle.
