Abstract
A joining system () of the present invention is for joining a joining target (W) including first, second, and third members (W), (W), (W), and includes a welder (), a friction stir welding machine (), and a controller () that: (A) causes the welder () to weld the second and third members (W), (W); (B), after (A), causes the joining target (W) to be placed at the friction stir welding machine () so that the first member (W) is opposed to a distal end of a tool (); and (C), after (B), controls a linear motion driver () and a rotation driver () so as to, while pressing the distal end of the tool () to the joining target (W), rotate the tool () around an axis, so that the softened second and third members (W), (W) intrude into the softened first member (W), thus joining the joining target (W).
