1. A machine tool, comprising:
- a control panel;
a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor that measure temperature and humidity inside the control panel, respectively;
a vapor amount calculation unit that calculates a vapor amount based on the temperature and the humidity;
a vapor amount storage unit that stores the vapor amount;
a vapor amount change ratio calculation unit that calculates a vapor amount change ratio based on the vapor amount calculated by the vapor amount calculation unit and the vapor amount stored in the vapor amount storage unit;
a vapor amount change ratio threshold setting unit that retains a threshold that is set in advance;
a vapor amount change ratio comparison unit that determines whether or not the vapor amount change ratio is greater than or equal to the threshold; and
an alert announcement unit that announces an alert when the vapor amount change ratio is greater than or equal to the threshold,whereinthe vapor amount change ratio calculation unit calculates the vapor amount change ratio using an average of the vapor amounts per prescribed time instead of the vapor amounts.

Abstract
A machine tool has the function of monitoring the sealing performance of a control panel. The machine tool measures temperature and humidity inside the control panel, calculates a vapor amount from the measured results, and stores the vapor amount. A vapor amount change ratio is calculated based on a currently calculated vapor amount and a previously calculated and stored vapor amount. An alert is announced when the calculated vapor amount change ratio is greater than or equal to a specific value.
