Abstract
A device for operating an automated machine for handling, assembling or machining workpieces, comprising: a display apparatus having a screen for displaying a graphic user interface for controlling and/or monitoring machine functions of the machine, an operating apparatus for inputting command-triggering operator actions for controlling functions of the machine and controlling functions of the graphic user interface, and a controller for implementing input command-triggering operator actions into control commands for controlling functions of the machine and/or functions of the graphic user interface. The operating apparatus comprises an apparatus for inputting manual operator actions and an apparatus for inputting contact-free operator actions. The apparatus for inputting contact-free operator actions includes: a sensor system for detecting contact-free actions of the operator and a detecting unit for picking up a command-triggering operating action of the operator by means of the contact-free operator actions detected by the sensor system.
