Abstract: The invention relates to a system (1) for machining work-pieces (W), which preferably consist, at least in some sections, of wood, wood materials, plastic or the like, comprising: a machining device (B1, B2, B3) for carrying out the workpiece machining, which machining device has a control apparatus having a data transfer interface; and a terminal (10), which has a data transfer interface, which is designed to communicate with the data transfer interface of the machining device (B1, B2, B3) by means of a data connection (15). The control apparatus is designed to forward state information of the machining device (B1, B2, B3) to the terminal (10) via the data transfer interface.

Abstract: 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.
