A coated cutting tool includes a substrate with a rake side, a clearance side and a cutting edge, and a coating including a first layer and a second layer. The second layer includes an inner layer and an outer layer, wherein the first layer is exposed through an opening in the inner layer and the opening extends over at least a portion of the width of the cutting edge. Thereby, a double layer is provided in critical areas, whereas a single layer is provided in other areas. Preferably, the double oxide layer includes aluminum oxide layers. A method for manufacturing the coated cutting tool is also provided.

A turning tool includes a power receiving coil, a sensor, and a wireless unit. The power receiving coil receives power transmitted from a power transmitting coil in a non-contact manner. The sensor is electrically connected to the power receiving coil. The wireless unit transmits data detected by the sensor to an outside.

An intelligent production line for turning tool bit cavities and an application method are provided, which solve the problem that a production line in the prior art has low working efficiency. The intelligent production line has the beneficial effects of a compact arrangement structure, higher safety and improved working efficiency. The intelligent production line for turning tool bit cavities includes a robot. Material tables and at least one machining center are arranged around the robot. A transfer station used for transferring materials is arranged between the machining center and the robot. A protective fence is arranged between a position above the material tables and the robot, and between the transfer station and the robot. The robot is provided with a mechanical arm including a base plate. The base plate is provided with at least one clamping jaw and fixed with a laser detecting unit for detecting the materials.

A method for producing a polarizing film includes (1) preparing a laminate (a) which includes a carrier film and a polarizer with a thickness of 10 μm or less formed on one surface of the carrier film and contains a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin; (2) peeling off the carrier film from the laminate (a); and (3) applying a liquid material to a side of the laminate (a) from which the carrier film has been peeled off and then solidifying or curing the liquid material to form a transparent resin layer with a thickness of 0.2 μm or more, wherein the liquid material contains a resin component or a curable component capable of forming a resin layer. This production method enables the achievement of a polarizing film which is able to have satisfactory durability in a heated environment even in cases where a thin polarizer is used therefor.

A holder in a non-limiting aspect of the present disclosure may include a base having a bar shape extended from a first end to a second end along a central axis, and a first weight having a column shape and a second weight having a column shape. The base may include a cavity extended along a central axis. The first weight may be located in the cavity. The second weight may be located in the cavity and located closer to the second end than the first weight.

A cutting insert is configured to include: a first portion having a rake face, a flank face, a cutting edge, and a face facing an insert attachment portion at an end of a tool main body; and a second portion having a side surface including at least one flat plane that is parallel to a center line of a tool or inclined at a prescribed angle to the center line. The second portion extends continuously to a region surrounded by the face of the first portion. The second portion is fitted into the tool main body to position the cutting insert and to prevent the cutting insert from rotating.

A cutting insert includes a body having an upper face, a lower face, a plurality of planar flank faces joining the upper and lower faces, and a plurality of curved flank faces joining the plurality of flank faces. A T-land is formed at a downward sloping angle with respect to the upper face. A cutting edge is formed at an intersection of a respective flank face and the T-land. A curved cutting edge is formed at an intersection of a respective curved flank face and the T-land. A micro-channel is formed in one of the flank faces, the curved flank faces and the T-land and proximate one of the cutting edge and the curved cutting edge.

The present invention provides a cutting tool that can firmly hold four types of cutting inserts by one tool main unit. A cutting insert of a cutting tool 1 has an approximately triangular stereoscopic shape including three corner portions. A tool main unit has a fixing portion that can selectively fix a plurality of types of cutting inserts, including: a negative type cutting insert of which angle of the corner portion exceeds 60°, a positive type cutting insert of which angle of the corner portion exceeds 60°; a negative type cutting insert of which angle of the corner portion is less than 60°; and a positive type cutting insert of which angle of the corner portion is less than 60°. The fixing portion has a bottom face that contacts with a bottom face of the cutting insert, and a side wall face that contacts with a side face of the cutting insert. A portion, which contacts with the cutting insert, of the side wall face of the fixing portion differs depending on the type of the cutting insert.

A cutting insert of an embodiment of the present invention includes an upper surface, a lower surface, a side surface connected to each of the upper surface and the lower surface, and an upper cutting edge located at an intersection of the upper surface and the side surface. The lower surface includes a mount part having alternately three first top portions spaced a distance a away from a central axis extending between the upper and lower surfaces and three second top portions spaced a distance b away from the central axis in a bottom view. The mount part further has a concave part including at least the central axis. The second top portions are located closer to the upper surface than the first top portions. A cutting tool with the cutting insert, and a method of manufacturing a machined product by using the cutting tool are also provided.
