    摘要: The machine tool comprises a fixed bearing structure, a movable bearing structure supported by the fixed bearing structure and displaceable with respect thereto along a horizontal direction, a tool-carrying carriage mounted vertically translatable in the movable bearing structure between an upper end position and a lower end position, situated at respective heights or levels separated by a predetermined vertical distance, and a motor adapted to cause a horizontal displacement of the movable bearing structure with respect to the fixed bearing structure and/or a vertical displacement of the tool-carrying carriage with respect to the movable bearing structure. The fixed bearing structure is configured such that the movable bearing structure is supported and driven in its displacement at a height or level intermediate between the heights or levels of the end positions of the tool-carrying carriage.
