Abstract
A machine tool with a machine frame is disclosed. A first tool guide is provided on the frame to guide a tool to a first guide position. The first tool guide is a movable gantry carrier with a movable first sliding carriage. The tool guide can be moved with respect to the machine frame in a first plane along a first direction and in a second direction which is orthogonal with respect to the first direction. Furthermore, a second tool guide is provided on the machine frame to guide the tool to a second guide position. The second tool guide can be moved with respect to the machine frame in a second plane along a third direction and a fourth direction which is orthogonal to the third direction, independently of the first tool guide. Finally, a tool holder is provided on the machine frame to hold the machined part. The machined part is led between the first and the second guide positions of the tool. The second tool guide is a movable gantry carrier with a movable second sliding carriage.
