Abstract: The present invention discloses a pressure-welded tool, wherein the method for manufacturing pressure-welded tool includes: heating a first joining surface of a first metal part carrying a tool head to a temperature above the recrystallization temperature of the first metal part; heating a second joining surface of a second metal part to a temperature above the recrystallization temperature of the second metal part; and end-to-end pressure welding together the heated first joining surface and the heated second joining surface until the temperatures of the first joining surface and the second joining surface cool down to below their respective recrystallization temperatures; accordingly a tool is manufactured using the above method.

Abstract: The present invention discloses laser pressure welding which is used for joining a first metal component with a second metal component; the first metal component has a first joining section with a first joining surface; the second metal component has a second joining section with a second joining surface; laser beams are projected onto the first and second joining sections of the first and second metal components to heat the first and second joining surfaces to a temperature between their re-crystallization temperature and melting temperature respectively; and the first joining surface of the first metal component is pressed tightly against the second joining surface of the second metal component until the first joining and second joining surfaces are cooled to a temperature below their re-crystallization temperature.

Abstract: Machine tool and a base for a machine tool comprising a machine bed to support a first work module having a first end effector held thereon, and a second work module having a second end effector held thereon on a base surface in an area between two mutually opposed sides which delimit the machine bed, the sides extending between an underside of the machine bed and an upper side of the machine bed, when viewed in the vertical direction; a first bearing element which is fixed relative to the machine bed for holding the first work module; and a second bearing element which is fixed relative to the machine bed for holding the second work module; wherein the first bearing element and the second bearing element are arranged one above the other, when viewed in the vertical direction.
