An apparatus for use with a machine tool, including an operating panel via which the machine tool can be controlled by an user and a supporting arm holding the operating panel, which can be mounted on the machine tool by means of a hinge in such a way that the supporting arm holding the operating panel can be pivoted relatively to the machine tool about a vertical axis of the hinge, wherein the apparatus is provided with at least one damping element and/or which dampens an impact of the apparatus which occurs, because of a collision between the apparatus and the machine tool, when the supporting arm is pivoted with respect to the machine tool about a vertical axis.

Apparatus for monitoring and providing visual representations of the operating conditions of machine tool parameters, in particular for program-controlled turning, milling, and drilling machines, which have a machining unit displaceable in a plurality of coordinate axes, in which a work spindle for exchangeable receiving a machining tool and an electric motor for driving the work spindle are mounted. The machine tool includes a control unit and means for monitoring the operating state of the machine tool. The monitoring apparatus has at least one sensor for detecting at least one operating parameter of the machine tool. An evaluating unit is connected to both the sensor and the control unit and processes the measurement values detected by the sensor. An optical display is provided in the direct viewing range of the operator, which viewing range includes the machine operating spindle, tool holder, tool, and workplace. The optical display can display a normal, a critical, and a dangerous operating state of the machine tool in accordance with the data from the evaluating unit.

The present invention relates to a machining apparatus for machining workpieces. These workpieces can be, merely as an example, workpieces of wood, wood materials, synthetics or the like. The machining apparatus comprises a machine bed (10) and a machining unit (20) movable along the machine bed (10), in the housing (21) of which a machining aggregate (25) is provided, at least one sensor (30a, 30b, 30c, 30d; 40) mounted on the housing (21) of the machining unit, which is provided for monitoring a travel movement of the machining unit (20), an operating element (50a, 50b, 50c) being provided on the housing (21) of the movable machining unit to input an operating command for the machining unit (20), in particular a command to start or stop.

A touch panel device includes a display section for displaying a plurality of input fields, an enlarged display section for displaying, at enlarged scale, one of the input fields in which the operator wants to enter data and which is touched by the operator, and an input section for entering processing condition data from the input field displayed at enlarged scale.

A method for the unique allocation of a first system component (14) of a device system (10), designed as a remote control, to a second and third system component (13, 12) of the device system (10), wherein the remote control (14) can be connected to the second system component (13) via a wireless and cableless communication link (35) or via a first cable or plug connection (36).
