Abstract: A machining device is provided with multiple translational and/or rotary machine axes for laser processing, grinding or electrical discharge machining of a workpiece into a tool. The machining device includes a machining unit comprising either a laser system with an optical system for generating, directing and/or moving a laser beam along an optical axis, a grinding tool rotatable around a tool axis, or an electrode tool for generating electrical discharge. The machining device also includes a workpiece support on which the workpiece is attached. The workpiece support is arranged movable about a second rotary machine axis, which is movable relative to a first rotary machine axis, perpendicular to the second rotary machine axis. A measuring system is positioned in a center of the first rotary machine axis and orientated towards a machine zero point defined by an intersection of the first rotary machine axis and the second rotary machine axis.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a friction stir welding tool insert comprising a polycrystalline cubic boron nitride, PCBN, composite material with a textured surface layer. The textured surface layer comprises a pre-defined repeating pattern.

Abstract: A method (100) and device (1) for laser machining a defined cutout in a workpiece (10), comprising generating a laser beam (20) propagating through a scanning unit (4) along a scanner axis (34), providing the workpiece (10) which is supported and held in a holder (11), and which is positionable relative to the scanner axis (34). The method further comprises defining a machining volume (22) of the workpiece (10) having a surface area (30) and a depth (d), determining a first relative position between the machining volume (22) and the scanner axis (34) in which the scanner axis (34) is orientated approximate perpendicular to a surface (21) of the machining volume (22), and positioning the workpiece (10) and/or the scanner axis (34) in the first relative position, and directing the laser beam (20) onto the machining volume (22) within the surface area (30), causing relative motion between the workpiece (10) and the laser beam (20), and scanning the laser beam (20) along a first cutting path (29).
