A device controls at least one of a machine, a color measurement device or an inspection system of the graphic arts industry. The device contains a control console that has at least one screen for displaying at least one of machine information, color information or image information. The control console includes a plurality of sensors for detecting gestures of an operator who operates the machine, the color measurement device or the inspection system via the control console.

Gesture control for printing presses

A display device and a display method are provided for printing material processing machines having components disposed relative to a printing material. The display device and method are configured in such a way that changes in a relative position of the components of the machine are displayed on the display device in relation to the printed image and/or the printing material. A printing press having a display device is also provided.

Print press having display device for positioning press components relative to print free locations

A method for ascertaining creation processes for products in the graphics industry, the product being described by one or more product properties. Starting out from the properties of a product, a network of creation processes (P, P, P) is created, which describes the creation of the product as a function of the resources () involved in the creation process, in that the creation processes (PPP) upstream of a resource () are ascertained.

Automatic production path finder

A method for controlling operating processes or measuring processes in connection with a printed image applied to a printing material, includes acquiring image information from the printed image on the printing material with a camera device. The data acquired by the camera is compared in a computer with digital image data of the printed image. Operating processes or measuring processes are triggered by the computer on the basis of the identified printed image on the printing material. The printing material is displayed on a desk, the camera device detects objects or persons covering the printing material and specific operating, processes or measuring processes are triggered on the basis thereof. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also provided.

Method and apparatus for operating printing presses

A display and/or operating device for controlling machines includes a projection device for projecting an image onto a projection area, an acquisition device for scanning the same projection area, and a control computer for controlling the projection device and the acquisition device. The present invention is distinguished by the fact that, by the acquisition device and the control computer, an analysis of the same projection surface can be carried out, and that the content of the image to be projected can be controlled by the control computer as a function of the result of the analysis of the same projection area.

Projection-area dependent display/operating device

In a communication system, which is used in particular in the production of print media, information coming from an output file is forwarded to a receiving unit. However, this information is not forwarded directly but via a filter unit which has access to the requirements of the receiving unit.

Communication system

A method for operating a machine () in the graphics industry using a computer (), at least one job, which is processed on the machine (), being storable in the computer (). The method is distinguished in that the computer () includes a control device which determines the properties of the stored job; the control device sets up the machine () in accordance with the ascertained properties; and, to process the job, the control device computes necessary further data from the existing data and subsequently processes the job. Also a device for carrying out the method.

Method and system for determining resetting operations of a printing press

Method of automatically controlling and regulating a chronological sequence of operations of a printing press includes initializing in RAM of a computer a list entered from ROM and having a table of all press operation data necessary for printing, including an assignment of times for actuating actuators to position data of the printing carrier, modifying the data entered into the list in accordance with data regarding the machine status, and with respect to process values relative to a position of the printing carrier at which a performance of an operation should start, a first press operation to be performed being defined and, included in the data for every operation is the operation to be performed preceding and subsequent thereto and, upon reaching a starting position of each actual operation to be performed in accordance with actual data from the speed sensor, with the data about the machine status and with the process values, and redetermining in the computer and entering into the list the data for the position at the start of the performance of the actual operation, and the data for the operation preceding and subsequent to the actual operation, and if a shifting of the performance sequence is necessary, redetermining the data of the future preceding and subsequent operations. If the redetermined position chronologically comes after the starting position, the respective operation skipped in the performance sequence, and if the redetermined position chronologically comes before the starting position, the respective operation is performed from the starting position.

Process and device for carrying away printing plates from a printing

A method for automatically changing printing plates for a printing machine is disclosed. The machine has a plurality of printing cylinders for mounting the printing plates, wherein each printing cylinder has a respective side register. The method comprises: driving a first printing cylinder to a printing plate release position; releasing the trailing edge of the old printing plate; turning the printing cylinder in a direction for unwinding the old printing plate; stopping the printing machine in a printing plate release position of another printing cylinder; releasing the old printing plate of the other printing cylinder; turning the printing machine in a direction for unwinding the old printing plate; repeating foregoing steps until all old printing plates are released and are connected at their respective leading edges; turning the printing machine in a direction for on-winding new printing plates; stopping the printing machine in a printing plate feed-in position of a first printing cylinder; feeding-in a first new printing plate to the first printing cylinder, and clamping onto the printing cylinder the first new plate; repeating foregoing steps until all new printing plates have been clamped onto a respective printing cylinder; and zero-setting the side register for each printing cylinder before feeding-in the new printing plate.
