A machine tool and robot control apparatus, for use in a system having a machine tool, a numerical control device for controlling the machine tool, an industrial robot and a robot control device for controlling the industrial robot, has the numerical control device and the robot control device connected to each other by means of a data transfer line. Each of the numerical control device and the robot control device is provided with a circuit for transmitting and receiving data which are exchanged through the data transfer line. The robot command data for controlling the robot, as well as the machining data for controlling the machine tool, are stored in a non-volatile memory device provided only in the numerical control device, through the data transfer line and respective circuits for transmitting and receiving data. The robot command data are successively read out from the non-volatile memory device and are transferred to the robot control device through respective data transmitting and receiving circuits and the data transfer line, thereby to control the robot.
