Abstract
To provide a controller for reducing a burden to be imposed on an operator in applying force with a finger during operation on a machine tool or a robot, and for associating an operation history with identification information about the operator. A controller for a robot or a machine tool comprises a fingerprint detection unit and a control unit. The control unit comprises: a key information receiving part that receives input key information; a key information transmission part that transmits the input key information linked in advance with the fingerprint detection unit to the key information receiving part if an operator makes a finger touch the fingerprint detection unit; and an individual identification information specification part that specifies identification information about the operator based on fingerprint information about the finger having touched the fingerprint detection unit.
