To prove if this system would work I rigged up a simulator using my boring head to simulate the in balance by driving a bearing inside a tube that is mounted on a spring, the speed of the mill is fully adjustable so spin up problems do not occur.
Findings
Yes it flashes and produces a strobe effect on the rotating part but the lines are not readable and the holes in the head show up as oval's
After testing at various speeds between 500 and 2000 rpm . I came to the following conclusions
The flash has to be as short as possible and under separate control, any dwell in the flash produces the blurring and distortion of the image
due to the part moving while the light is on.
Backing off the sensing contact as fine as possible starts to improve the image, but contact is lost before it becomes anywhere near readable.
However I have relearnt things I had forgotten, so not all is lost,
Back to the drawing board. First thing required is to be able to control the time of a single flash. then how to trigger it.
