Strain Gage Installation Kit SGK-01
The Strain Gage Installation Kit allows a fast, easy and reproducible way of installing the fiber optic Strain Gages SG-01 and the fiber optic Strain Gage Chain SGC-01 to various surfaces. Installation of the optical gages happens using a patented methodology which makes use of a specially designed, reusable mounting tool called a sensor pad.
The optical gages can be installed with two different adhesives: a UV-curable adhesive and a cyano-acrylate based rapid curable adhesive. Installation with the UV-curable adhesive is the preferred method as it is highly controllable. This method requires an extra UV source which is sold as a separate accessory.
