Abstract:
Described herein is a strain gauge and a method of making the strain gauge. The strain gauge includes a single conductive filament having a first end, a second end and a measuring length between the first end and the second end. The measuring length is arranged in a planar serpentine pattern. The measuring length has a first cross-sectional area. The first end and second end each have a cross-sectional area greater than the first cross-sectional area.
Abstract:
An extension arm for attachment to a resistance welding hand piece is disclosed. The extension arm may include an elongated main body extending between a first end and a second end. The first end of the elongated main body may be attachable to the hand piece such that the second end of the elongated main body is spaced apart from the hand piece. The extension arm also may include an electrode extending from the second end of the elongated main body. The electrode may be in electrical communication with the hand piece by way of at least one electrical pathway.
Abstract:
A splicer device is disclosed herein. The splicer device includes a main body having an internal passage formed between a first end of the main body and a second end of the main body. The first end of the main body is configured to receive at least one first wire, and the second end of the main body is configured to receive at least one second wire. A window is disposed within the main body and in communication with the internal passage between the first end of the main body and the second end of the main body for accessing and splicing the at least one first wire and the at least one second wire.
