Sam: Can you fix my haircut for me?
Faye: I'm not sure the mill is the right tool for that.
Bubbles: I'm not sure there's anything that can fix it.

SAM: "There's... uh... a good explanation for this!"

FAYE: "Look, that kit is brand new, kid! I don't want to have to spend time cleaning it!"

BUBBLES: "For the record, you cannot become a cyborg by using metal-working machinery on random parts of your body."

Sam: "My cool machine! MINE!"

Faye: "Hey! Lennie doesn't like people invading his personal space!"

Bubbles. "Sam, meet Lennie the sentient drill press. Lennie, meet Sam the hyperactive human child."

That looks more like a viscometer since that arm is way to puny to handle much in the way of stress or torque from a cutting head biting into something gummy like titanium

Isn't that a mill? It really looks like a mill.

This is what I worked with years back and they have not changed all that much since except having actuators replacing the hand cranks and a PLC attached to the side.

In the original picture that can is a big give away as is the horizontal support being so slim with such a huge control box mounted on it.
What you think is a cutting head is much too big for a tool holder on such a small piece of equipment but is the right size for a strain gauge based torsion sensor

and now back to our regularly scheduled sillyness

Sam: Help? My drawstring got pulled into this thing.
Faye: I'm not sure how you even managed to do that.
Bubbles: I think we found our Raven or our Raven found us.

Sam: "I-i-i-t-t-t   t-t-t-i-i-i-c-k-k-k-le-s-s-s!"
Faye: "I'm never having kids."
Bubbles: "It seems we already do."

FAYE: "Sam! What did I say to you about 'personal space'?"

SAM: "Woooaaahhh! It's so spooky in here! What are those flashing lights?"

PUNCHBOT: "You humans like talking about 'the light of the soul'. Well, I'm not sure about that but you can at least watch my heartbleeps!"

Faye: "Samantha! I swear I'm going to sit you in the corner!"
Sam: "Why do you have Gibson and Fender guitar parts in here?"
Punchbot: "Do I? That must be why that cute assembly line robot at the factory kept calling me Mindbender."

Faye: "How the hell am I supposed to explain to your dad that you got your head stuck inside a robot?"

Sam: "Actually I'd worry more about explaining it to my stepmom."

Punchbot: "Hey, as long as I don't have to explain it to Officer Basilisk I'm good!"

Not knowing anything about it myself, what exactly would you do with a rotational viscometer in a robot repair shop?

Back on-topic:

Faye: Get out of there, Sam!
Sam: Wow, what does this do?
Punchbot: Hee-hee, that tickles!

Faye: Stop that.
Sam: It is I, C-3PO! You probably do not recognize me because of the red arm.
Punchbot: It is I, C-3PO! You probably do not recognize me because of the red arm.

Or, indeed, measuring the fluid they just drained off to make sure it’s within spec.

My experience has been with the QC testing of polymers. Either thermo-set or epoxy. You need a specific level of viscosity for molding or potting parts but not too thin else it will leak like water and be weak or too thick and leave voids.
Testing thinner fluids like lubricants or blood is usually relegated to a custom glass tube type system, a stopwatch and a look-up table.

I remain after all these years in awe of the kind of expertise this forum can toss up on apparently almost anything.
