Abstract
A combined machining apparatus includes a spindle to which a cutting tool and a friction stir welding tool are attachable. The apparatus includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the combined machining apparatus to perform operations comprising: reading a machining program to determine a working tool of a plurality of tools to be called by the machining program; determining whether the working tool is the cutting tool or the friction stir welding tool; allowing correction of a position of the working tool based on a temperature detected by a temperature sensor when the working tool is determined to be the cutting tool; and allowing correction of a position of the working tool based on load detected by the load sensor when the working tool is determined to be the friction stir welding tool.
