Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a gear cutting machine having a machine control as well as having at least one display for displaying machine-relevant parameters, wherein the display is multitouch-operable and allows an operator input for controlling the gear cutting machine by multifinger gestures over the display.
Claims21
A gear cutting machine comprising:
- a machine control as well as at least one display for displaying machine-relevant parameters, wherein the at least one display for displaying machine-relevant parameters is multitouch-operable and receives a user input for controlling the gear cutting machine by multifinger gestures over the at least one display for displaying machine-relevant parameters,
- wherein the gear cutting machine has a user-dependent display representation of one or more machine-relevant parameters, with use profiles being stored and accessed again that cause the user-dependent display representation to be displayed, and
- wherein the user-dependent display representation on the at least one display for displaying machine-relevant parameters is divided into at least two windows, with each window representing a specific number of machine-relevant parameters and each window being continuously user configurable over the at least one display for displaying machine-relevant parameters with respect to an extent of the machine-relevant parameters shown, orientation of the machine-relevant parameters shown, and at least one of a window size and/or a type.
A method for controlling a gear cutting machine comprising:
- accessing a stored use profile;
- displaying, via a display device with a touch screen, machine-relevant parameters of the gear cutting machine in a user-dependent display representation that is based on the accessed use profile,
- wherein the user-dependent display representation is a display that is divided into at least two windows, with each window representing a specific number of machine-relevant parameters and each window being continuously user configurable over the display with respect to an extent of the machine-relevant parameters shown, features of the axial display of the content of each window, and at least one of a window size and/or a type and/or an extent of the machine relevant parameters shown;
- receiving a user input through multitouch inputs to the display device and by multifinger gestures over the display;
- and
- controlling operation of the gear cutting machine based on the user input.

A gear cutting machine comprising:
- a machine control system having a processor and memory with instructions stored therein;
- at least one display for displaying machine-relevant parameters via the machine control system;
- wherein the at least one display for displaying machine-relevant parameters via the machine control system is multitouch-operable and receives a user input for controlling the gear cutting machine by multifinger gestures over the at least one display for displaying machine-relevant parameters,
- wherein the gear cutting machine has a user-dependent display representation of one or more machine-relevant parameters, with use profiles being stored and accessed again that cause the user-dependent display representation to be displayed, and
- wherein the user-dependent display representation on the at least one display for displaying machine-relevant parameters via the machine control system is divided into at least two windows, with each window representing a specific number of machine-relevant parameters and each window being continuously user configurable over the display with respect to an extent of the machine-relevant parameters shown, a graphical design of the axial display of the content of each window, and at least one of a window size and/or a type.
