A hybrid cutting apparatus and a method of cutting a groove are provided. The hybrid cutting apparatus includes: a main body that is connected with a rotation shaft of a machine tool; a grooving tool that is coupled to one side of the main body and for forming a groove at an interior circumference of a workpiece; and a tool position control means that controls a position of the grooving tool to correspond to a cutting surface position of the workpiece.

Hybrid cutting apparatus and method of cutting groove using the same

A system for aligning and connecting components including a support structure and a measuring apparatus coupled to the support structure. The measuring apparatus is arranged to spatially analyze a first tubular component with respect to a second tubular component for determining an adjustment vector therebetween. An alignment apparatus is coupled to the support structure and in data communication with the measuring apparatus. The alignment apparatus includes a plurality of actuators operatively arranged in parallel for moving at least one of the first or second tubular components relative to the other for coaxially arranging the first and second tubular components in accordance with the adjustment vector. A connection apparatus is coupled to the support structure and operatively arranged for connecting the first and second tubular components together.
