Sensuron’s compact FOS systems adhere using the same materials as traditional foil strain gage applications – typically a cyanoacrylate based glue or a two-part epoxy for more critical and long-term installations. The substrate material is prepped by thoroughly cleaning the surface, abrading it, re-cleaning, tacking the fiber down to hold it along the desired route, and then applying the glue or epoxy. It is not unusual to install 2048 sensors in a single day.
