Abstract: A machine for injection molding or die casting includes a main machine base with an injection unit mounted on the rear face and a mold guideway mounted on the front face. An aperture in the main machine base and a corresponding one in the base of the guideway provides for the nozzle of the injection unit to engage molds carried in the guideway. The reciprocating of the molds toward and away from one another is due to the action of a totally enclosed toggle assembly interconnecting mold-carrying shanks with compression lever brackets mounted in the ends of the guideway, actuators being located centrally of guideway ends and linked to the toggle assembly. Position adjusters are incorporated for adjusting the location of the injection unit on the rear of the machine to position its nozzle relative to the molds.

Abstract: A die casting machine has a frame with a base plate pivotally mounted thereon and supporting a furnace pot. A die assembly is mounted on the front face of the base plate and a double locking toggle arrangement is used to open and close the dies. The gooseneck assembly is mounted for linear movement to actuate the nozzle onto the die parting line.
