Abstract:
Provided is a base (30) used in an injection molding machine. The base (30) for an injection molding machine includes, two side frames (40) extending parallel with the axis of a drive actuator (16). Each of the side frames (40) includes a lower flange (44) supported by a bed (11), an upper flange (45) disposed parallel with the lower flange (44), at least two webs (46) connecting the upper flange (45) and the lower flange (44), and a web reinforcing member (47) fixed to the webs (46) while penetrating the webs (46).
Abstract:
A mold clamping apparatus of the type including a mold opening/closing actuator and a mold clamping cylinder, wherein rails for guiding a movable platen are disposed on a base, and the mold clamping cylinder has a left leg and a right leg each disposed between one pair of left and right rails of the rails. The rails provided for guiding the movable platen is used also as a side guide for the mold clamping cylinder. This arrangement can obviate the need for a separate guide member.
Abstract:
A mold-clamping machine 10 includes a stationary mount 13, a movable mount 18, a mold-clamping mechanism 15 and a mold opening-and-closing mechanism 16. The mold-clamping mechanism 15 includes a cylindrical constraining mechanism 30. The constraining mechanism 30 has a magnet mechanism built therein. By causing a current to flow or not flow, the constraining mechanism 30 changes to an unconstrained state or to a constraining state. In the unconstrained state, the mold-clamping mechanism 15 is movable relative to a tie bar 19 and along the tie bar 19. In the constrained state, the mold-clamping mechanism 15 becomes unmovable relative to the tie bar 19. The magnet mechanism positions the mold-clamping mechanism at an arbitrary position over the tie bar.
Abstract:
A mold clamping apparatus includes a fixed platen, a mold clamping cylinder, a movable platen moved by the mold clamping cylinder toward the fixed platen, and a mold opening/closing actuator for moving the movable platen or the mold clamping cylinder. The mold clamping apparatus further includes a mold thickness adjustment cylinder provided between the mold clamping cylinder and the movable platen, the mold thickness adjustment cylinder being configured to generate an axial force larger than an axial force in an expanding direction of the mold opening/closing actuator and smaller than an axial force in a contracting direction of the mold clamping cylinder.
Abstract:
A mold-clamping mechanism in which top and bottom tie bars extend between a pressure-receiving platen and a fixed platen fixed to a bed, a movable platen is movably attached to the tie bars, a toggle link extends between the movable platen and the pressure-receiving platen, the movable platen is moved toward the fixed platen by the toggle link, and a mold is clamped by the movable platen and the fixed platen. The pressure-receiving platen includes a bottom part surrounding a central cavity, and a ceiling part for joining respective top ends of left and right wall parts provided upright from both ends of the bottom part. An opening via which the cavity communicates with the outside is provided to the bottom part and the ceiling part.
Abstract:
A mold clamping apparatus includes a mold clamping cylinder. The mold clamping cylinder has, in a region thereof located below left and right lower tie bars and above left and right sliders, a left grooved portion opened leftward and elongated horizontally, a right grooved portion opened rightward and elongated horizontally, and a leg portion formed between the left and right grooved portions. The leg portion and the left and right grooved portions together form a constricted part.
Abstract:
A mold clamping device includes a base, a stationary platen, a movable platen, a mold clamping mechanism, a tie bar, and a half nut. This mold clamping device further includes a shaft supporting plate supporting a tip of the tie bar. This shaft supporting plate is fixed to the tip of the tie bar, and is mounted on the base so as to be freely movable.

Abstract:
A mold clamping mechanism including a fixed platen and a movable platen is disclosed. The fixed platen includes upper and lower, left and right through-holes for allowing passage of tie-bars therethrough, and a cutout for separating the through-holes into mold-side holes and opposite-mold-side holes. The fixed platen is divided by the cutout into a mold-side part and an opposite-mold-side part. The mold-side part is provided with main leg part connected to the bed.
Abstract:
A movable platen support structure includes: a linear guide mechanism via which a movable platen is provided for horizontal movement; a plurality of movable-platen height adjustment mechanisms provided in corresponding relation to leg sections of the platen, each of the height adjustment mechanisms including a flat plate placed on a corresponding slider of the guide mechanism, and an adjusting bolt screwed into the corresponding leg section of the slider and abutting at its distal end against the flat plate; and a plurality of fastening mechanisms provided in corresponding relation to the leg sections, each of the fastening mechanisms including a fastening bolt for, following the height adjustment by the adjusting bolts, fastening the corresponding leg section to the corresponding slider by being passed through the leg section and the flat plate so as to be screwed into the slider.
