Machine tool (10), in particular a cutting machine tool, comprising at least one digital storage unit (34) in which a machining program code that codes the machining process of a workpiece by means of the machine tool (10) and a monitoring program code that codes a monitoring process for monitoring the machining process are stored. According to the invention, it is intended that a script editor (38) is stored in the digital storage unit (34) for inputting and/or reading modification commands that change the monitoring process, and a compiler is also stored in the digital storage unit (34) that is designed to automatically generate an executable process monitoring program code from the monitoring program code and the modification commands.

The invention provides a NC control method and a NC control apparatus for implementing the method. The method comprises: acquiring a first NC code and a second NC code, wherein the first NC code comprises first machining information for controlling a tool to machine a workpiece, and the second NC code comprises second machining information for enhancing the first machining information; simultaneously running the first NC code and the second NC code to parse out the first machining information and the second machining information; merging the first machining information and the second machining information; and controlling the tool to machine the workpiece according to the result of the merging. The invention also provides a NC control apparatus and a computer storage medium for machining controlled both by the first and the second NC code.
