Abstract
A method and apparatus for improved tool set-up and adjustment using thin tactile sensors. A method is provided comprising the steps of affixing a plurality of sensing cells to the tool at spaced locations thereon, electrically connecting the sensing cells to a measuring instrument, establishing a measurement event threshold for each electrically connected sensing cell, detecting occurrences of the measurement events for each electrically connected sensing cell, and, in response to detecting these occurrences, adjusting the tool set-up consistent with the measurement events.
