Abstract
A machining center NC operation panel with a body temperature management function includes a visible range image camera and an infrared detection camera on a front surface of an operation panel. A storage unit has: an operator list; a face image file; and a body temperature management file for machine tool users and body-temperature managed users. A control unit includes: a face authentication processing unit; a work information processing unit that calls a work item assigned to the identified operator and displays it on a display unit of the operation panel so as to allow execution of a selection; and a body temperature acquisition processing unit that assesses whether or not the operator has a fever. When receiving a result of the assessment that the operator has a fever, the work information processing unit locks an operation screen of the display unit to inhibit continuation of an operation.
