Smart sensor for surface temperature measurement on manufacturing machines

The requirement for accurate milling machinery gives rise to a host of controllers capable of data handling from sensors. Accurate measurement of temperature is important since thermal gradients cause deformity in machinery. The development of a temperature-measuring instrumentation system is proposed to improve surface temperature reading accuracy on machinery. The use of digital temperature sensors are combination with a 32-bit ARM cortex M4 processor enabling data handling and averaging is presented.
