Looking for bargraph type display

grs · Jan 25, 2005

Does anyone know of a manufacturer that has a large bargraph type display? It has to be readable from a distance so I'm thinking of a bargraph that's 1" wide by approx 12" high. Interface would be 4-20mA.

Check first with Otek - they have all kinds of neat indicators at competitive pricing.

We once had to install a big, and I mean a BIG M****R F****R bargraph.

It was to stand in the middle of a place where there was acid from batterie crushing and fumes and oxide and mud and water and snow and explosive gaz ... You get the picture?

We installed a 6 feet air cylinder verticaly which pushed on a translucent plastic plate inside a transparent plastic pipe. All with a big spot light.

So there we had our own 6 feet tall bargraph. And it was explosion proof.

They could see it 1/4 mile away easy!!!

Gosh that time was fun.

Try Weschler as well. A little more information would be cool. What process do you want to 'watch'? Pressure, Temperature, Level, Sound?

That Oletek Site does have some cool Bar graphs.

This reminds me of something that I was thinking of.
Do you think any body makes an LCD display that would Output a scanner readable Barcode?

Currently I have a bunch of presses, and at the end of each shift, someone goes around and writes down press counts.
We use the

Cub, but ours are LCD.
Now if I could get a Counter like the Cub except the output would look like

A guy could make the rounds with a laptop in a short time.

"OEM and Volume discounts apply, please contact Scanning Devices for details"

I'm sure they'll give you a price break if you buy a few thousand or so...

I worked in a process plant full of these many moons ago, they were pretty reliable. As for cost, Otek will probably be cheaper.
