| 1. A detecting apparatus for detecting an angle of a bend in an electrically conductive workpiece, the detecting apparatus
comprising:
a platform;
a holding bracket mounted on the platform and being grounded, configured for holding and electrically connecting with the
workpiece;
at least one detecting portion slidably mounted to the platform, and comprising a short pin and a long pin, wherein the pins
are normally at high potential and go low potential if contacting the workpiece when the at least one detecting portion is
slid;
a processor, the pins of the at least one detecting portion electrically connected to the processor, the processor judging
an eligibility of the angle of the bend in the workpiece according to the potential pattern of each of the pins; and
an indicator electrically connected to the processor, configured to show a detecting result done by the processor.
