To provide a technology for adjusting execution frequency of monitoring processing.SOLUTION: A machine tool capable of processing a workpiece includes a main shaft on which a tool or the workpiece can be mounted, a detection unit for detecting an operator working at the machine tool, and an execution unit for executing, at multiple timings, monitoring processing for monitoring at least one of the tool and the workpiece. The execution frequency of monitoring processing when the operator has been detected by the detection unit is less than the execution frequency of monitoring processing when the operator has not been detected by the detection unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】監視処理の実行頻度を調整するための技術を提供する。【解決手段】ワークを加工することが可能な工作機械は、工具またはワークを装着することが可能な主軸と、工作機械で作業を行っている作業者を検知するための検知部と、工具およびワークの少なくとも一方を監視するための監視処理を複数のタイミングにおいて実行するための実行部とを備える。検知部によって作業者が検知された場合における監視処理の実行頻度は、検知部によって作業者が検知されなかった場合における監視処理の実行頻度よりも少ない。【選択図】図３
