Hi,
I have to measure a time interval in which a steel rod drops ( i think about a 1 foot, I'll know the exact measurements tomorrow and its a linear drop ). I have been looking into several "types" of sensors. However i been unable to find more detail/quality information about each type.
The types I've looked into so far are:
Laser Triangular Sensors
Laser Interferometer
Photo Reflective Sensor
I'm unable to put the sensor above or below (double check the below part again but i was told no already). So i have to mount the sensor on the side of the falling rod or at an angle below the falling rod.
Any suggestion or comments would be appreciated! (also not sure if i posted this in the right spot so bare with me!)
