Press control desk

A press control desk, having a combined display and operating device is disclosed. The device, firstly, is used for the display of objects, in particular press states and/or press functional elements and/or press operating elements, and secondly, is used for the input of commands and/or operators for a press control system. The device has a plate-like or pane-like projection element forming a projection plane, on which the objects to be displayed, in particular the press states and/or press functional elements and/or press operating elements, can be visualized via a projector by using back projection. The device also has a monitoring device which registers a relative position between the projection element and an input element in order to register commands and/or operators to be input via the input element, and transmits them to the press control system.
