The fixed frame (2) comprises a straight upper guide (22, 23) and a straight lower guide (24, 25) which lie on parallel or coincident planes. The movable frame (3) comprises upper connecting means (31, 32) and lower connecting means (33, 34) slidably coupled respectively to the upper guide (22, 23) and to the lower guide (24, 25) and coplanar thereto, so as to enable translation of the tool (41, 42) with respect to the fixed frame (2).
