N2 - The measurement system being developed uses the instant dramatic change in sensor feedback, which occurs when a sinusoidal excited piezo contacts a solid surface. This effect is combined with tried and proven reference ball measurement techniques in order to achieve high resolution, accurate and repeatable measurement in a very hostile ball bearing manufacturing environment. A test and reference ball re-circulating method, using oxide preventing / temperature stabilising immersion storage, allows for regular recalibration of piezo mounted strain gauge sensors. The real world fluctuations of temperature, humidity, mechanical vibration and electrical noise will be monitored using purpose built Labview programs and carefully simulated in a lab based environmental enclosure designed specially for this project.
