Hello,
I need some advice on how to inspect strain gage placement inside a load cell. Typically strain gages have alignment marks, the gage itself is small at (0.25" x 0.14" ). The gage is bonded in the center of a hole (0.55" dia) drilled through inside the load cell (which is basically a
5"x1" block of steel).
Currently gage placement is visually alligned to scribed lines. During the bonding process it is possible for the gage to slip translationally as well as rotationally.
I need a way to measure how far off the allignment from the scribe lines are.
I was wondering if there is some lighted, flexible or right angle, boroscope with a reticule????
I really have no ideas, any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Please note that this is request is for qc (not calibration purposes).
Thank you for your time
