Cutting erosion machine tool

A cutting erosion machine comprising:

• a machine frame;
• an upper wire guide head on the machine frame to guide a first portion of a wire electrode to a first guide position, wherein the upper wire guide head comprises an upper movable gantry carrier with a movable upper sliding carriage, and wherein the upper wire guide head can move the wire electrode with respect to the machine frame in a first plane along a first direction and along a second direction which is orthogonal to the first direction,
• a lower wire guide head on the machine frame to guide a second portion of the wire electrode to a second guide position, wherein the lower wire guide head comprises a lower movable gantry carrier with a movable lower sliding carriage, and wherein the lower wire guide head can move the wire electrode independently of the upper wire guide head with respect to the machine frame in a second plane along a third direction and along a fourth direction which is orthogonal to the third direction;
• a part holder cooperating with the machine frame to secure a machined part for engagement with the wire electrode;
• and,
• a work container for receiving the machined part and a work fluid during the machining, wherein the work container is arranged on the machine frame such that the lower gantry carrier traverses two opposite lateral walls of the work container.
