An electronic angle measuring device for measuring the bending angle between the legs () of a metal sheet () having a sensor element () which delivers angle-equivalent signals in a contact-free manner to a signal processing device () comprising a microprocessor and a memory unit which is connected to a digital display () is described. In order to create advantageous measurement conditions, it is proposed that a sensor element () which deflects a laser beam through a rotating mirror onto the two legs () of the metal sheet () and which forms a measured value from the reflection beam received in the emission direction, the signal processing device () with the microprocessor and the memory unit as well as the digital display () form an angle measuring device () which can be fastened to an upper tool () of a bending machine and which can be used as a manual measuring device ().

Electronic angle measuring device for a bending machine for measuring the bending angle between the legs of a metal sheet

An electronic angle measuring device for a bending machine for measuring the bending angle between the legs () of a sheet () using a sensor element () is described, which supplies angle-equivalent signals in a contactless manner to a signal processing unit (), which has a microprocessor and a memory unit and is connected to a digital display (). To provide simple measuring conditions, it is proposed that the sensor element (), the signal processing unit (), and the display () form an angle measuring device () which is fastenable on the upper tool () of the bending machine and is usable as a handheld encoder, and which has a motion sensor (), which is connected to the signal processing unit () and detects the lowering and/or raising movement of the upper tool (), for triggering the measuring procedure.
