Preferably, the connection point coincides with one end 25 of at least one guide. In accordance with this embodiment, the portion is constrained to the at least one guide by means of the at least one sliding rotary joint along the at least one guide and by means of the bar that rotates around the point of connection. By doing so, when the portion is moved between the 30 closing position and opening position, while at least one joint rotary slides, along at least one guide, approaching or moving away from the connection point, the bar rotates, around the point of connection, in one direction or the opposite direction to accompany the portion in its rotational translation motion. In the closed position, the at least one rotary joint is close to the 5 connection point and the bar is rotated to be parallel at least one guide so that the portion is perpendicular to the walls of the first pair of walls. In the open position, however, the at least a rotary joint is arranged along the at least one guide in a position distal from the connection point and the bar is rotated so that it is arranged 10 substantially perpendicular to the walls of the first pair of walls so that the portion defines, with respect to a plane perpendicular to the walls of the first pair of walls, a predetermined corner. Preferably, this predetermined angle is equal to 90°. 15 Advantageously, by realizing on the first wall of the second pair of walls a movable portion, it is possible to access the volume of containment in a position closer to that in which the tool warehouse making not only access, but also any maintenance and inspection operations, easier and more convenient. 20 Furthermore, the rototranslation movement of the portion allows for obtain access to the containment volume that is both large and and free of cables and wires that hinder the entry of an operator but which avoids, being the control unit integral with the portion, to cause a tear and / or a break in the cables and / or wires connecting the control unit to the 25 various components of the machine. In accordance with an aspect of the invention, the machine further comprises a motor coupled to the portion to move it automatically the portion itself between the open position and the closed position. The motor can be coupled above or below the 30 portions. In the preferred embodiment, the motor is coupled below the portion. In accordance with a further alternative embodiment, the portion may be moved between the closed and open positions in manual way. 5 In accordance with a further alternative embodiment, the portion may be moved between the closed and open positions in semi-automatic manner. Preferably, the machine also includes a rack developing perpendicularly to the walls of the first pair of walls. 10 Preferably, the machine also includes a guide shoe hinged to the portion and coupled to the rack. The guide shoe It can be activated by the motor sliding along the rack. In this way situation, thanks to the engine, the guide shoe is “pushed or pulled” along the rack dragging with it the portion to which it is hinged.

The guide shoe 600b being connected, and in hinged part, to the “P1” portion, also the “P1” portion is moved so as to be movable between the closed position and the open position. 10 In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, the machine “M” also includes a locking mechanism that can be activated between the first and the second leaf 300a, 300b of the access door to constrain the doors 300a, 300b rotating between them around a hinge axis “B” defined by the counter-facing side edges of the doors 300a, 300b in such a way 15 such that a movement of the portion “P1” from the position of the closing and opening times correspond to a rotation of the doors of 300°, 300b around the hinge axis “B” such as to cause an overlap at least partial of the first leaf 300a on the second leaf 300b. Referring for example to figures 1-3, at the moment in which the portion 20 “P1” switches from the closed to the open position, the mechanism of locking is activated. In this situation, the first leaf 300a, being hinged to the “P1” portion, it moves solidly to the portion “P1” along the at least one guide 400a. During this movement, the first door 300a being hinged to the portion 25 “P1” and the second leaf 300b in the hinge axis “B”, the first leaf 300a is bound to fold onto the second leaf 300b. In other words, the first and second beat 300a, 300b define, when the locking mechanism is activated, a door of the type bellows in which the first flap 300a is at least partially foldable on the, 30 or at least partially superimposable, to the second leaf 300b. In the preferred embodiment, when the movable portion “P1” is in opening position, the first and second leaf 300a, 300b define between them an angle α between 20° and 60°, preferably equal to 40°. The present invention achieves the intended purposes by eliminating the drawbacks emerging from the prior art. 5 In particular, thanks to the possibility of moving the “P1” portion, it is It is possible to access the containment volume “V” not only from the door access but also in a further access close to the tool warehouse “U” making maintenance and / or inspection operations and the like more simple and easy. 10 Furthermore, the roto-translation movement of the “P1” portion allows to access the containment volume “V” without the cables or wires that connect the control unit to the various parts of the machine “M” must be disconnected in order to access the containment volume “V” and / or suffer excessive stretching or even breakage THE AGENCY Eng.
