A warm-up control system for a machine tool drives a spindle motor for rotating a main spindle of the machine tool before starting machining, thereby performing a warm-up operation, and acquires a spindle motor load value that is variable by heat generated during the warm-up operation. The warm-up operation is ended when the acquired spindle motor load value becomes substantially equal to a preset working reference load value. The cutting capacity of the main spindle can be improved by this warm-up operation. |
