System for producing printed products
The system comprises machines with several processing stations that form a production line for books, magazines, brochures or newspapers. A control device controls the processing stations, and at least one input means operates the processing stations with the control device. The input means is freely movable, and the location or the position of the input means relative to the processing stations is detected automatically.
1. A system for producing printed products, said system comprising machines with several processing stations, which form a production line, the system comprising:
at least one control unit for controlling the processing stations of a machine;
at least one freely movable input means for operating the processing stations via the at least one control unit; and
at least one electronic data bank in which at least one authorization to operate for at least one operator is stored, wherein the at least one authorization to operate specifically applies only to at least one individual processing station, and wherein the at least one authorization to operate specifically applies only to at least one type of manipulation of said at least one individual processing station,
and wherein a position of said at least one input means relative to the processing stations is automatically detectable.
2. A system for producing printed products, said system comprising machines with several processing stations, which form a production line, the system comprising:
at least one control unit for controlling the processing stations of a machine;
at least one freely movable input means for operating the processing stations via the at least one control unit; and
at least one electronic data bank in which at least one authorization to operate for at least one operator is stored, wherein the at least one authorization to operate specifically applies only to at least one type of manipulation of at least one processing station,
and wherein a position of said at least one input means relative to the processing stations is automatically detectable.
3. A system for producing printed products, said system comprising machines with several processing stations, which form a production line, the system comprising:
at least one control unit for controlling the processing stations of a machine; and
at least one freely movable input means for operating the processing stations via the at least one control unit,
wherein a position of said at least one input means relative to the processing stations is automatically detectable,
and wherein at least one processing station comprises at least one actuator, the at least one actuator being used in conjunction with said at least one input means to control at least one of speed and position attributes of said at least one processing station.
