A numerical control machine tool operating data collecting terminal having mobile communication capability and supporting data customization contains a UPS module, a mainboard, a 4G communication module, a switching power supply, an AC 220V plug, a 24V relay KA1, a 24V relay KA2, a 5V delay module KT1, a 5V relay KA3, an RJ45 interface and a PLC 24V power supply signal interface terminal row. After receiving a power-on signal of a PLC of a numerical control machine tool to be started, the collecting terminal is connected with the machine tool through the RJ45 interface (internet access) and connected with a server through the 4G communication module, and if connection is interrupted, the collecting terminal is continuously reconnected with the machine tool and the server to ensure normal communication with the machine tool and the server. After the collecting terminal, the machine tool and the server are in normal communication, collecting software automatically reads a pre-created machine tool identification file to communicate with the machine tool and identify basic information of the machine tool; and after the machine tool is identified, the collecting terminal parses a machine tool control file, collects information including the machining time, tool information, output statistics, alarming history, operation information, operation history, macro variables, PMC variablesand NC programs according to the requirements, and sends the information to the server.
