A machine tool includes a movable structure, a numerical control unit, an external input unithaving a dedicated operation key for inputting an operation signal associated with at least a movement end point to which the movable structureis moved, a display unitdisplaying an image, a display control unitcontrolling the display on the display unit, an input control unitprocessing a signal input from the external input unit, and a movement path setting unitreceiving the operation signal input from the external input unitand setting a movement path for moving the movable structurecorresponding to the operation signal to the movement end point according to a predetermined setting condition. The display control unitdisplays an image relating to the movement path set by the movement path setting uniton the display unit

Machine tool

A display apparatus capable of displaying images of movable structures includes a data storage unit for storing image data and a display control unit which receives signals relating to positions of movable structures from a numerical controller and reads out image data relating to the received movable structures from the storage unit, and generates a display image in which images of the movable structures are arranged to have a positional relationship received and displays the display image on the display. When a selection signal for selecting a movable structure to be operated is input to the numerical controller from an input device, the display control unit receives the selection signal and generates a display image in which the image of the movable structure corresponding to the received selection signal is highlighted and displays the display image on the display.
