Abstract
A combined system having a function for rapidly detecting and correcting a positional misalignment between a machine tool and a robot. The combined system includes: a machine tool having a table and a workpiece fixing jig integrally movable with the table; a robot system separated from the machine tool and having a robot configured to supply or take out a workpiece to or from the jig; a network for information transmission between the machine tool and the robot; an interference judging part which judges occurrence of interference, based on a disturbance value of each axis of the robot, when the workpiece is supplied to or taken out from the jig; and an interference avoiding part which, when it is judged that the interference occurs, stops a motion of the robot and moves the table in a direction of at least one axis based on the disturbance value.
