Are you wasting time and compromising on accuracy by using feeler gages. Do you find the result very subjective to which operator is taking the measurement.
Move up to the Gapman Gen3 "Electronic Feeler Gauge" (read more)
Gapman from Capacitec is the world's first high precision, non-contact, portable electronic gap measurement gage used in aircraft assembly during shimming operations. It can measure gaps down to 0.005" (127 microns) between all metal and composite surfaces with typical accuracy of +/- 0.0005" (12.7 microns) or better. (read more)
Engineers have long been searching for reliable and repeatable methods to measure thin gaps between 0.004" (0.11mm) and 0.20" (5mm). Mechanical contact methods such as feeler gauges, shims and calipers had long been the only available method to measure gaps, even in areas where damage could be caused to polished or sensitive surfaces.
