Device for controlling operating functions and for programming machine tool e.g. surface grinding machine, has input mask displaying operating parameters of machine tool and/or control parameters of workpiece processing program in interface

摘要

The device (30) has an operating panel (35) coupled with a machine tool (10) over communication connections (25a, 25b) e.g. cable and wireless local area network. The panel has an input and/or output device for displaying a user interface (37) i.e. human machine interface, and receiving user inputs over the user interface. The user interface has selection buttons that are assigned to an input mask. The input mask is provided for displaying operating parameters of the machine tool and/or control parameters of a workpiece processing program in the user interface.
