A system is disclosed for automatically transporting works between an automated warehouse and a machine tool, and for maintaining the works in a precise position with respect to the machine tool. The system includes an automated warehouse, a pallet for precisely holding works, a truck for carrying the pallet, the truck moving along rails between the warehouse and a work exchanging apparatus adjacent to a machine tool table, and a device for positioning the pallet on the machine tool table precisely with respect to the machine tool. The work exchanging apparatus operates to transfer a pallet which holds unmachined works from the truck to the machine tool table and to transfer a pallet holding machined works from the machine tool table to the truck. The pallet, machine tool table, truck and work exchanging apparatus include means to position the pallet so that after a work is initially positioned on the pallet, the work will be precisely positioned with respect to the machine tool. The truck includes means for positioning the truck along the rails with respect to the warehouse and work exchanging apparatus.
