Hey all.
I am looking for a device that I am not sure even exists.
I need to take a temperature reading of a moving element. Its range of motion is elliptical and travels only about 12 inches from its starting point so the range is not a concern. I am looking for some kind of temperature detection. Just like an RTD does but with laser. I have a handheld laser thermometer from my local hardware store and it works great. I would like to find either a laser unit with a transmitter, to get the value in to the PLC or something that works with its own controller that may have a scaled output or even set point based relays.
Is this something that anybody here as seen before?
Thanks
