The mold clamping is an area where the processor (mold setter) has significant influence over the cost of the molding parts.

Foul-up mold clamping setting causes jerking in the die mold (open & close) function and produce severe damage to the die tool parts.

Mold clamps are widely used in any injection molding machines, CNC machines and milling machines for holding the die part (mold) between the fixed and movable platen.

1.   The mold clamp is used for injection molding machine.

Mold clamp for an injection molding machine

A mold clamp for an injection molding machine with a stationary mold clamping plate and a movable mold clamping plate displaceable on a sliding carriage, which mold clamping plates are arranged on a machine frame and support mold-halves of a mold for processing plastic material, on the sliding carriage side guide rollers are provided which are adjustable with eccentric bolts and are supported on the machine frame, an air clearance is provided between the movable mold clamping plate and the sliding carriage, which are connected with each other for relative movement therebetween by connecting elements and a vertical trunnion transversely displaceable to the machine longitudinal axis, and are secured together with fastening screws.
