Abstract: Machine tool (10), in particular a cutting machine tool, comprising at least one digital storage unit (34) in which a machining program code that codes the machining process of a workpiece by means of the machine tool (10) and a monitoring program code that codes a monitoring process for monitoring the machining process are stored. According to the invention, it is intended that a script editor (38) is stored in the digital storage unit (34) for inputting and/or reading modification commands that change the monitoring process, and a compiler is also stored in the digital storage unit (34) that is designed to automatically generate an executable process monitoring pro- gram code from the monitoring program code and the modification commands.

Abstract: A method for monitoring at least one machine tool (12) featuring the steps (a) real-time detection of time-dependent measurement data (Mi) characterising a production process running on the machine tool (12), (b) provision of the measurement data (Mi) with a time stamp which encodes a time (tj) at which a respective measurement data (Mi) was detected, such that measurement results (Mi(tj)) are obtained, (c) transmission of the measurement results (Mi(tj)) via a non-real-time-capable data bus (26) to an evaluation unit (28), (d) calculation of at least one command (B) from the measurement results by means of the evaluation unit, (e) transmission of the at least one command (B) via the data bus (26) and (f) monitoring of the production process in real-time by means of a programme that contains the command (B).

Abstract: Method for monitoring a machine tool (10), in particular a material-removing tool (10), having the steps of: (a) determining process variable measured values (B(i)) of a process variable (B) on the basis of a parameter, (b) determining whether the process variable measured values (B(i)) are in a predefined tolerance range (T(i)) which depends on the parameter, (c) if not, outputting a warning signal, and (d) constantly repeating steps (a) to (c), wherein the parameter is a control variable (i), in particular a scalar control variable (i), which always characterizes progress of the machining process. The invention provides for the control variable (i) to be calculated from the real time (t) and at least one process parameter (O, ?tstill) which characterizes the processing speed of the machining process.
