Infra red temperature sensors

[Captain Haddock]

Has anyone found a good infrared temperature sensor that works with picaxe? Preferably at a decent cost with digital output, i2c would be nice as I have thermocouple circuit using i2c which displays to a glcd so could be tagged in assuming different address.
I'm considering a project to check the temp of a rotating shaft so obviously contact type sensors like ds18b20 would be no use.

You'll also find some breakout boards like this one : https://www.adafruit.com/product/1296

Oh, Professor Anderson! His website is such a great resource. Pity he passed away at only 66.
