  • Apparatus for operating a printing press with a plurality of operating zones, printing press and machine having the apparatus and method for safely operating a machine
    Patent number: 8973499
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a mobile control device for safe operation of machines for processing printing materials. The machine is divided into a plurality of spatially delimited zones and the position of the control device can be detected in relation to the plurality of zones. It is possible to determine the zone in which the control device is located by using the position of the control device. Certain functions of the machine are enabled or disabled depending on the determined zone. A printing press having the device and a method for safely operating a machine for processing printing materials, are also provided.
