Abstract
A machine tool includes a workpiece holding unit to hold a workpiece. A tool holding unit holds a tool. At least one of the workpiece holding unit and the tool holding unit is drivingly rotatable or drivingly movable in a predetermined direction to machine the workpiece with the tool. Temperature sensors are attached to members constituting the machine tool. An estimator calculates an environmental temperature system thermal displacement amount due to a heat source outside the machine tool. A correction magnification processor calculates an environmental temperature system thermal displacement correction amount. Another estimator calculates a driving system thermal displacement amount due to a heat source in the machine tool. A thermal displacement correction amount adder obtains and outputs a total thermal displacement correction amount based on which the machine tool performs thermal displacement correction control.
