CONTROL DEVICE FOR PRINTING PRESS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an input device simply and well handled in the printing apparatus of a printing press. SOLUTION: A plurality of sensor keys 5 are provided in the input region 3 of an operation table 2 in order to operate a regulation member. These sensor keys 5 are formed as contact type linear stroke sensors. At this time, the sensor keys 5 are formed in a stripe state like elongated stripes and arranged in the input region 3 as an almost uninterrupted continuous surface. A control unit for alloting the respective sensor keys 5 to an attached regulation member 8 in a control technical manner. When the sensor keys 5 are thus used, the contact position thereof is detected with high accuracy at the time of touch. By this constitution, a printing worker can input data and/or control order intuitively in an extremely easy and rapid manner. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
