    The invention relates to a brush manufacturing machine with at least one functional unit and a control unit and a method for setting up a brush manufacturing machine, in particular a brush manufacturing machine of the previously defined type. The variety of variants of the brush manufacturing machine offered on the market takes into account the variety of the brushes to be manufactured. This poses a particular challenge for the manufacturers of such brush manufacturing machines.
    There are special configurations for each application in which the brush manufacturing machines are put together. For the manufacture of the brush manufacturing machines, this means that a large variety of variants has to be mastered. This drives up the manufacturing costs and can ultimately impair economic brush production. The previously known brush manufacturing machines are generally highly specialized and set up to manufacture a specific type of brush. If the brush manufacturer wants to change production in order to produce a different type of brush, in the best case this requires the conversion and / or retrofitting of existing machines. If this is not possible, new brush production machines have to be purchased or the order that requires the desired changeover to be rejected. Overall, the previously known brush manufacturing machines are therefore not satisfactorily equipped for such changes. So it is hardly possible to economically produce small series with existing brush manufacturing machines, because the possibilities for amortization of an applied investment for the conversion of the brush production are too small.
    The object of the invention is therefore to provide a brush manufacturing machine and a method for setting up such a machine, with which the disadvantages of the known brush manufacturing machines can be avoided and the manufacture of brushes can be made more flexible.
    To solve this problem, a brush production machine of the type mentioned at the outset is first proposed, which has the features and means of the independent claim 1 directed to such a brush production machine. In particular, in order to achieve the object, a brush production machine is thus proposed which has at least one functional unit and a control unit, the at least one functional unit providing a range of functions which can be used by an operator of the brush production machine during operation of the brush production machine and the control unit being set up for this purpose to change the usable range of functions depending on input information. In this way it is possible to manufacture and sell brush manufacturing machines for a wide variety of applications in one and the same basic configuration. In a delivery state, the at least! a functional unit of the brush manufacturing machine only provide a basic functional scope. As soon as the operator of the brush manufacturing machine wants to change over to production, he can order, for example, request a change in the functional scope provided by one functional unit from the manufacturer of the brush manufacturing machine, in particular buy it. Thereupon a
    ready information through which the control unit of the brush manufacturing machine changes the functional scope of the at least one functional unit that can be used by the operator.
    The functional scope of at least one functional unit of the brush manufacturing machine that can be used by the operator in an initial state can be zero and / or the functional unit can be deactivated. In this context, the control unit of the brush production machine can be set up to change the functional scope of the at least one functional unit of input information, for example the previously mentioned input information, from zero to an expanded scope and / or the at least one functional unit of the brush manufacturing machine as a function of input information, for example the one already mentioned above, to be used. In this way, a previously unusable machine function of the brush production machine can be activated using the control unit of the brush production machine as a function of input information.
    Of course, the control unit of the brush production machine can also be set up to limit the range of functions of the at least one functional unit that can be used by the operator to zero, depending on input information, for example the one already mentioned above. The control unit can also be set up to deactivate the functional unit of the brush production machine as a function of input information, for example the one already mentioned above.
    To receive the input information, it may be expedient if the brush manufacturing machine, in particular the control unit of the brush manufacturing machine, has an interface. Depending on,
    the interface for receiving the input information can be designed differently in a soft way, in particular with which information or data carrier the input information is to be made available to the brush manufacturing machine.
    So it is conceivable to make the input information of the brush production machine crahtios, for example by radio.
    An interface is then provided for this, which is set up for wireless reception of the input information.
    In principle, any technical device can be used as an interface with which input information can be read from an information carrier.
    Any means that can be the carrier of an input information item can serve as the information carrier.
    This also includes electromagnetic waves, classic data carriers, bar codes, RFID tags, floppy disks, data storage devices, CDs, hard disks and / or data signals that are transmitted, for example, via a data network, in particular the Internet.
    A component or tool for the brush manufacturing machine that is provided with input information that can be processed by the control unit is also to be regarded as an information carrier in the sense of the claimed invention.
    Especially where the activation or
    If the functional scope of the at least one functional unit of the brush manufacturing machine is to be changed against payment to the manufacturer of the brush manufacturing machine, it may be expedient if the brush manufacturing machine, in particular the control unit of the brush manufacturing machine, at least indirectly for checking the Input information is set up.
    In this way, the input information can be checked for plausibility and / or authenticity.
    The control unit can test the input information. However, it is also possible for the control unit to be connected at least temporarily to a test module in or of which the input information is checked.
    In the context of the claimed technical teaching, the examination module is also understood to mean a software and / or computer-implemented examination module, 5 which is at least temporarily connected to the brush production machine, in particular to the control unit of the brush production machine, via a data network, in particular via the Internet.
    A brush manufacturing machine equipped in this way allows the operator of the brush manufacturing machine to also process small series which require a modified range of functions of an existing brush manufacturing machine.
    The range of functions required for this can be ordered, in particular purchased, from the manufacturer of the brush production machine. As soon as the required range of functions has been paid for, the manufacturer of the brush production machine provides the operator with the input information necessary for changing the range of functions.
    The input information can be transmitted directly from the manufacturer of the brush manufacturing machine to the brush-making machine, in particular to the control unit. In particular after a positive check of the input information, the range of functions that can be used when operating the brush-making machine can be changed in accordance with the input information.
    For the operator of the brush manufacturing machine, this has the advantage that he must first pay a lower purchase price to purchase the brush manufacturing machine.
    This is because the brush manufacturing machine is fully equipped on the hardware side, but is initially limited in terms of its range of functions that can be used by the operator.
    As soon as a changed, in particular expanded, range of functions is required, it can be purchased from the manufacturer of the brush manufacturing machine.
    This also has advantages for the manufacturer of the brush manufacturing machine.
    The manufacturer can offer a broad portfolio of brush manufacturing machines without having to master an excessively large variety of hardware.
    The range of functions of one and the same brush manufacturing machine can be adapted as required by providing corresponding input information.
    A change, in particular an expansion of the functional scope, no longer occurs on the hardware side, but rather via a corresponding activation of a further machine function by providing input information.
    The input information transmitted to the brush manufacturing machine can be checked by the brush manufacturing machine, in particular by the control unit.
    Either this takes place internally, that is to say within the brush production machine, in particular within the control unit, or the input information is transmitted for verification to the previously mentioned test module, which can be kept outside the brush production machine, in particular in a cloud or at the manufacturer of the brush production machine.
    If the input information is positively checked, in particular verified, the control unit can change the usable range of functions according to the input information. In this context, it can be particularly advantageous if the control unit is at least temporarily connected to an instruction memory.
    This instruction memory can contain control information for the at least one functional unit of the brush manufacturing machine, which are assigned to different input information.
    The input information can also be checked by comparing the input information with permissible input information stored in the instruction memory.
    Can one of the input
    If the information that is provided to the brush production machine is found in the instruction memory, this can lead to a positive test result. If the control unit receives input information, the control unit can get the control information that is assigned to the received input information in the instruction memory from the instruction memory Read out and transfer to the functional unit to change the functional scope.
    Here too, the instruction memory can be stored in a data network, in particular on the Internet and / or in a cloud, to which the control unit of the brush manufacturing machine, given via the interface of the brush manufacturing machine, can access in order to read out the control information.
    It is of course also possible for the instruction memory to be part of the brush-making machine, in particular part of the control unit of the brush-making machine.
    The instruction memory can be part of the test module and / or can be used or used to check the input information.
    The brush production machine can have at least one sensor and / or at least be temporarily connected to one.
    With the aid of the sensor, input information can be generated, on the basis of which the control unit changes the functional scope of the at least one functional unit of the brush production machine in the manner prescribed.
    The brush manufacturing machine can in particular have a location sensor as a sensor. The location sensor can autonomously determine the location using the location sensor.
    The location information can then be used as input information.
    The brush manufacturing machine can autonomously change the functional scope of the at least one functional unit depending on the location via its control unit.
    the. In addition, depending on the country in which it is operated, the brush manufacturing machine may be subject to different statutory provisions. The legal provisions may require a change in the usable functional scope of the at least one functional unit of the brush manufacturing machine. By determining the location, the brush manufacturing machine can determine automatically and independently where it is being operated. This information can be taken into account by the control unit of the brush manufacturing machine as input information when changing the functional range of the at least one functional unit which may be necessary. Country-specific functions can be assigned to specific location information in the form of specific control information in the instruction memory of the brush manufacturing machine mentioned above.
    In one embodiment of the brush manufacturing machine, the at least one functional unit can have a number of machining axes, of which a number of n-x machining axes can be used within the scope of a basic functional scope of the functional unit. This is particularly the case if the control unit does not have any special input information that would lead to a change in the functional scope of the functional unit. Within the scope of a change in function by the control unit when there is appropriate input information, a number of nxy to n can be processed - axes of use can be used. At this point it should be mentioned that the variables n, x and y can stand for natural numbers. The at least one functional unit can be, for example, a drive for the brush manufacturing machine. With the drive e.g. one of the tools of the brush cleaning machine. The drive can be used as a functional scope for the operator of the brush
    Provide usable speed range and / or a usable maximum speed.
    Depending on the content of the input information that is made available to the brush manufacturing machine, the usable speed range and / or the usable maximum speed can be changed within the potential speed range of the drive.
    The object is also achieved by a method for setting up a brush production machine which has the means and features of the independent claim directed to such a method. In particular, to solve the problem, a method for setting up a brush manufacturing machine is proposed, in which a range of functions that can be used by the operator of the brush manufacturing machine during operation of the brush manufacturing machine is changed as a function of input information from a control unit of the brush manufacturing machine as a function of input information.
    When carrying out the method, a brush manufacturing machine can be used which has the features of at least one of the claims directed to the brush manufacturing machine.
    The functional scope of the at least one functional unit can be changed, for example, from zero to an expanded scope. It is possible to activate the at least one functional unit for use by changing its functional scope.
    The input information for changing the functional scope of the at least one functional unit of the brush manufacturing machine can be received by an interface of the brush manufacturing machine. The interface of the brush manufacturing machine can
    speaking of the information carrier with which the input information of the brush manufacturing machine is made available.
    The input information made available to the brush manufacturing machine can be checked at least indirectly by the control unit of the brush manufacturing machine. For this purpose, the control unit of the brush manufacturing machine can, for example, use an inspection module that has already been described in detail above.
    An instruction memory can also be used to check the input information, in particular one as mentioned above. In particular after a positive check of the input information, control information associated with the input information, in particular from the control unit, can be transmitted to the at least one function unit. This with the aim of changing the functional scope of the at least one functional unit that can be used by the operator when operating the brush manufacturing machine in accordance with the input information.
    As previously indicated, the control information can be read out from an instruction memory, at least temporarily connected to the control unit. The checking of the input information that is provided to the brush generation machine can be done using the instruction memory. During the test, the input information that is made available to the brush production machine can be compared with the permissible input information stored in the instruction memory. If the input information provided to the brush manufacturing machine can be found in the instruction memory, this leads to a positive test result. In the following, control information, which is assigned to the checked input information, can be read out from the instruction memory and used by the control unit to change the functional scope of the at least one functional unit of the brush manufacturing machine.
    In a preferred embodiment of the method it is provided that the input information of the brush manufacturing machine is provided by a manufacturer of the brush manufacturing machine. For this purpose, an information carrier can be used which is compatible with the previously mentioned interface of the brush cleaning machine. In this way, it is possible, for example, to order only the range of functions actually required, in particular from the manufacturer of the brush manufacturing machine. By providing the input information, the manufacturer of the brush manufacturing machine can at least temporarily change, in particular expand, the functional scope of the at least one function of the brush manufacturing machine, in particular against payment.
    If the changed range of functions is no longer required, the brush manufacturing machine can be brought into its initial state.
    For this purpose, the brush manufacturing machine can be provided with corresponding input information, by means of which the control unit changes the functional scope of the functional unit.
    The input information can also be provided by a sensor, in particular a location sensor, of the brush manufacturing machine, in particular transmitted to the interface of the brush manufacturing machine and / or read out by the latter. The function of the location sensor has already been described in detail.
    A component provided with the input information, in particular a tool, can serve as the information carrier for the input information
    Brush making machine or the functional unit that is compatible with the brush making machine can be used. In this way it is possible to adapt the range of functions depending on the input information that is linked to the component. It is therefore possible to provide original components, which are obtained from the manufacturer of the brush manufacturing machine, with input information that regulates the rules of the brush manufacturing machine to allow a certain usable range of functions. This is then preferably expanded compared to a range of functions that can be used with a component that comes from another source. For example, if a component is installed on the brush manufacturing machine that does not have one In the absence of corresponding input information, the control unit can limit the functional scope of the at least one functional unit, possibly even to zero, or only allow it in the scope of a basic functional scope.
    To deactivate at least one functional unit of the brush manufacturing machine, it can also be expedient if the control unit is also set up to limit the functional scope of the functional unit to zero, in particular as a function of a corresponding input information.
    This procedure is particularly advantageous if the component is a tool of the brush manufacturing machine. If a cutting knife is used as the tool, which has input information by means of which the tool for the brush manufacturing machine, in particular for the control unit, can be identified as the original tool, an increased drive power compared to a basic functional range can be achieved
    Drive can be activated with which the tool can be driven. To ensure that tools that are not original tools and therefore may not have the required specifications are not used with too much power, the range of functions of the one functional unit, here the drive of the tool, can be used for safety reasons be restricted accordingly. An activation key, a digital activation key, a code and / or a data carrier that can be read by the interface and that have the input information can be used as information carriers, for example. Further types of information carriers have already been mentioned above.
    The range of functions can be limited by the control unit depending on the input information or expanded depending on input information. As already mentioned above, it is also possible to change the scope of functions with the rule unit to a basic scope of functions, in particular to limit it. This is especially the case when the brush manufacturing machine has no input information. This ensures that the brush manufacturing machine can be operated at least in a basic functional scope. In order to be able to provide basic operation of the brush manufacturing machine, the functional unit can provide a basic functional scope that is used when operating the brush manufacturing machine if no input information is available. Of course, the functional scope of the at least one functional unit can be limited to zero with the control unit of the brush making machine, in particular depending on corresponding input information, and the functional unit can thus be deactivated.
    In one exemplary embodiment of the method, a power that can be used by the operator of the brush manufacturing machine, in particular a usable speed range of a drive of the brush manufacturing machine, which is then controlled as a functional unit, can be increased, in particular, as a function of the input information changed by the control unit or be reduced. It is thus possible to increase or decrease the speed range of the drive that can be used by the operator of the brush manufacturing machine at least indirectly through the input information. This allows the operator of the brush making machine, e.g. unlock a larger usable speed range of a drive of the brush manufacturing machine for a limited period of time and / or for a limited number of items or of course also permanently and in this way upgrade the brush manufacturing machine.
    The input information is only transmitted by a manufacturer of the brush manufacturing machine, for example, when the operator of the brush manufacturing machine and / or the brush manufacturing machine has at least fulfilled one condition with regard to receiving the input information. The condition can be met, for example, if the operator of the brush manufacturing machine has paid a meaningful amount to the manufacturer of the brush manufacturing machine to activate the changed functional scope. However, it is also possible that other conditions must be met in order for the Allow change in the scope of functions. This can be, for example, the installation of the brush-making machine at a different location or the operation of the brush-making machine under different conditions, for example at a different temperature and / or different air humidity. The conditions to which the brush steering machine is exposed can be determined with a sensor from the brush manufacturer.
    machine are monitored.
    It can be particularly advantageous if the control unit changes the functional scope of the at least one functional unit for a defined period of time and / or for a defined number of production processes and / or produced parts. The information necessary for this can be obtained together with the input information transferred and / or already stored in control information which is assigned to the input information, for example in the instruction memory.
    In this case, the input information and / or control information can contain an instruction with regard to a scope and / or a duration in which / in which the changed functional scope can be used.
    It is also possible for input information and / or the control information to contain at least information relating to a number of products which may be manufactured with the changed functional scope.
    The previously described brush manufacturing machine and the previously described method allow the functional scope of individual functional units to be adapted as required.
    It is thus possible, for example, to use the control unit of the brush manufacturing machine in the manner described above to programmatically lock the axes of the brush manufacturing machine.
    Furthermore, it is conceivable to activate individual switches and / or pushbuttons of the brush production machine only after a corresponding input signal has been provided with the control unit, so as to expand the functional scope of the at least one functional unit of the brush production machine that can be used by the operator.
    As previously indicated, the brush production machine in which the claimed technical teaching is implemented can also be designed to limit and / or expand a production service it offers depending on input information. Exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below on the basis of the description of the figures. The invention is of course not limited to the exemplary embodiments shown in the figures. Further exemplary embodiments of the invention result from a combination of the features which are dealt with in the claims, in the general part of the description and in the description of the figures.
    1 shows a flow diagram to illustrate the invention with a first exemplary embodiment of a brush production machine shown in a highly schematic form, the brush production machine having a total of four processing stations as functional units, and FIG. 2: a second flow diagram to illustrate the invention with a further embodiment of a brush manufacturing machine, the reaction of the brush manufacturing machine to original components on the one hand (compare 1} and on the other hand to non-original components is shown (compare I).
    Even in the case of different designs or shapes, elements that correspond in their function are given the same reference numerals in the following description of the figures. Figures 1 and 2 each show a brush manufacturing machine designated as a whole by 1. Each of the brush manufacturing machines 1 has at least one functional unit 2 and one control unit 3. Each of the functional units 2 provides a range of functions that can be used by an operator of the brush manufacturing machine 1 when operating the brush manufacturing machine 1. The respective control unit 3 is set up to change the usable functional scope of the at least one functional unit 2 as a function of input information 4. If necessary, one or more functional units 2 can be deactivated in an initial state, ie provide a range of functions that is zero.
    Corresponding input information 4 makes it possible to expand the functional scope of these functional units 2 with the aid of the control units 3 and thus to activate the functional units 2. In this way, previously blocked machine functions 1 can be released for use in existing brush manufacturing machines 1. Each of the brush manufacturing machines 1 has an interface 5 for receiving input information 4. The interfaces 5 are at least temporarily connected to the control units 3. The control units 3 are also at least indirectly set up to check the input information 4. Furthermore, the control units 3 are each connected to an instruction memory 6 at least temporarily. The instruction memories 6 contain all control information that is assigned to different input information 4. For at least indirect checking of the input information 4, the control units 3 can be connected at least temporarily to a checking module 24. As part of the test of the input information 4, the control unit 3 and / or also the test module 24 connected at least temporarily to it can be carried out on the previously mentioned
    access memory 6. This can contain a list with permissible input information 4, by means of which the control unit 3 and / or the test module 24 can autonomously determine whether the input information 4 provided to the brush manufacturing machine 1 is permissible or not. The brush manufacturing machine shown in Figure 1 has a sensor 7. This sensor 7 is a location sensor with which the brush-making machine 1 can autonomously determine your location. A location information 8 generated by the sensor 7 can be used as input information 4, on the basis of which the functional scope of the at least one functional unit 2 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 can be changed depending on the location.
    The brush manufacturing machine 1 shown in FIG. 1 has a total of four functional units 2. The functional unit 2 located at position 1 is used to enter the brush body 14 and the removal of finished brushes 12. The functional unit 2 located at position 2 is a drilling device 16 which will be explained in more detail below. At position 3 there is a device as functional unit 2 for plugging bristles 10 into the brush body 14, while at position 4 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 according to FIG. 1 a milling device 9 is provided as the functional unit 2.
    With this milling device 9, bristles 10 already plugged into the brush bodies 14 are machined at their free bristle ends 11. The milling device 9 has a total of three machining axes 13a, 13b, 130. A milling tool 15 of the milling device 9 can be rotated about a first machining axis 13a of the three machining axes. A second machining axis 135 of the three machining axes is one in elwa parallel to the surface of a spanned on the milling device 9
    Brush body 14 of the brush 12 to be machined aligned axis along which the milling tool 15 can be moved. depending on input information 4 (see part B of FIG. 1), the control unit 3 can expand the functional scope of the functional unit 2, namely the milling device 9.
    After checking and / or verifying the input information 4, the control unit 3 transmits a corresponding control signal to the milling device 9, by means of which the third machining axis 136 is activated, along which the milling tool 15 can then also be moved.
    In this way, the functional scope of the milling device 9 is expanded on the basis of the input information 4 in such a way that brushes 12 can now be produced with a 3-dimensionally shaped bristle trim (compare part G of FIG. 1). Part B of FIG. 1 further clarifies that the input information 4 can be wirelessly transmitted to the brush production machine 1, in particular to the control unit 3 of the brush production machine 1.
    The input information 4 can be provided depending on whether at least one specific condition regarding the receipt of the input information 4 is met.
    The condition can be met, for example, if the brush manufacturing machine 1 is located at a specific location and / or if a payment for changing the functional scope of the at least one functional unit 2 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 is made, in particular to a manufacturer 20 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 has been.
    Part À of Figure 1 shows the functional unit 2 milling device 9 in its basic Umiunumumiang.
    The basic functional scope is provided by the milling device 9 when the control unit 3 of the brush manufacturing machine
    machine | there is no input information 4. In this case, two of the three machining axes 13a, 13b, 13c of the milling device 9 can be used for machining brushes 12.
    If the corresponding input information 4 is available to the brush steering machine 1, the control unit 3 ensures that the third machining axis 136 of the milling device 9 is activated.
    The functional unit 2 located at position 2 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 is a drilling device 16. With the drilling device 16, bundle holes 17 can be introduced into the brush body 14. The bundle holes 17 are plugged with bristles 10 on the functional unit 2, which is arranged at position 3 of the brush manufacturing machine 1. In a basic functional scope of the drilling device 16 functional unit, a drive 18 of the drilling device 16 can be operated at a specific maximum speed. This allows the bundle holes 17 to be drilled in a corresponding cycle time. By means of corresponding input information 4, the control unit 2 can expand the functional scope of the drive 18 of the drilling device 16 by increasing a speed range that can be used by the operator of the brush manufacturing machine 1 and / or the maximum speed of the drive that can be used. In this way, more bundle holes 17 can be drilled per time unit, as a result of which, for example, the cycle time of this functional unit 2 can be reduced and the performance of the brush manufacturing machine 1 can be increased. FIG. 2 shows a brush production machine 1 which can be operated with different components 19 and 22, here with different tools 19 and 22. According to the in part | 2, an original tool 19 is used, which is manufactured by the manufacturer.
    actuator 20 of the brush manufacturing machine 1.
    The tool 19 also serves as an information carrier 21 which has the input information 4 aut,
    The brush manufacturing machine 1 is set up via its interface 5 to read the input information 4, which the tool 19 has in its function as an information carrier 21. In this case, the input information 4 is authenticity information, through which the tool 19 for the brush manufacturing machine 1 and its control unit 3ais can be identified by the manufacturer 20.
    If the check of the input information 4, which is carried out at least indirectly by the control unit 3 of the brush manufacturing machine 1, reveals that the tool 19 is an original tool, the functional unit 2 of the brush cleaning machine 1 that uses the tool 19 receives corresponding control information and from the control unit 3 is operated at full power.
    According to part H of FIG. 2, the brush manufacturing machine 1 is operated with a tool 22 which comes from another manufacturer 23, that is to say is a non-original tool 22.
    This tool 22 does not carry any input information 4, on the basis of which the control unit 3 would at least indirectly recognize that the tool 22 has the required specifications in order to operate the function unit 2, which the tool 22 uses, at full power For this reason, the brush manufacturing machine 1 autonomously decides to reduce the power with which the functional unit 2 is operated to 90% for safety reasons. Both brush manufacturing machines 1 are therefore suitable for performing the method described below for setting up a brush manufacturing machine 1:
    It is provided here that a functional scope of at least one functional unit 2 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 that can be used by the operator of the brush manufacturing machine 1 during operation of the brush manufacturing machine 1 is changed as a function of input information 4 from the control unit 3 of the brush manufacturing machine 1.
    The input information 4 is received via the interface 5 of the brush manufacturing machine 1.
    The input information 4 is then checked at least indirectly by the control unit 3.
    The control unit 3 can use a test module 24 for this purpose.
    This test module 24 can be cloud-based and / or operated by the manufacturer 20 of the brush manufacturing machine 1.
    To check the input information 4, the brush production machine 1, in particular the control unit 3, can at least temporarily use the test module! 24 connect. In particular after a positive check, control information assigned to the input information 4 is transmitted from the control unit 3 to the at least one functional unit 2 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 in order to change the range of functions which can be used by the operator when operating the brush manufacturing machine 1.
    Depending on the application, the input information 4 is provided by the manufacturer 20 of the brush manufacturing machine 1.
    An information carrier 21 can be used for this.
    The information carrier 21 is matched to the interface 5 of the brush manufacturing machine 1.
    The input information 4 can also be generated autonomously by the brush manufacturing machine 1, in particular by the control unit 3.
    In a variant of the method, it is provided that the input
    generate formation 4 by means of a sensor 7, for example by means of a location sensor 7, and make it available to the control unit 3, in particular via the interface 5. In a further embodiment of the method, a component 19 provided with the input information 4, in particular a tool 19, is used as the information carrier 21, which is compatible with the brush manufacturing machine 1. An activation key, a digital activation key, a code, a certificate of authenticity and / or a data carrier that can be read by the interface 5 of the brush manufacturing machine 1 and that contains the input information 4 can of course also be used as the information carrier 21 having.
