Hello Good day everyone,
I am a Masters student in the college of Dentistry and I have a project to do, which is incorporating a mini Digital Goniometer into a wire bending Plier.
- The main purpose is to be able to precisely measure the angle the plier could bend during bending the wire.
(eg. to digitally visualize the change in the wire angulation while crimping the plier and to stop when the desired angle is reached.)
- I need it to be mini in size to build it in the plier, simple, easy, feasable, and affordable.
When searching I came up with the idea of using Digital Absolute rotary encoder (A device that converts angular position to digital output)
1- How can I use such a device in a mini size to make it build in a plier?
2- How can I add a small digital LED plate to show angular number (eg. like the wrist digital watch)
I would also like to know if there is any other suggestions simpler and easier
Thank you in advance
