Abstract: An apparatus for injection molding thermoplastic material has mold halves carried by stationary and movable mold mounting plates which are mounted on a frame. A control mechanism actively applies a variable torque to one of the mold mounting plates for compensating for any bending of the frame due to the closing force applied between the mold halves.

Abstract: An injection moulding machine having a machine frame (1), a stationary and a movable mould mounting plate (2,8) for fixing mould portions (4,9) and an injection unit (5) which opens into the mould through the stationary mould mounting plate (2), wherein the force applied by the closing mechanism is transmitted through the machine frame instead of through bar members and the injection unit (5) is in rigid connection with the stationary mould mounting plate (2).

Abstract: In order to operate the closing means of a double plate injection moulding machine including a fixed and a movable mould plate, the closing means comprising at least one pump (22), at least one high speed cylinder for a high speed stroke and at least one closing cylinder (10) for a closing stroke with a nominal closing force, whereby the closing cylinder (10) includes a double action piston (7) in which both piston faces (13, 14) are the same size and which divides the interior of the closing cylinder (6) into two cylinder sections (8, 9) which are hydraulically connectable via hydraulic lines (21, 22) and a valve (26), the following method is carried out: during the high speed closing operation using the high speed cylinder (3), both sides of the piston (7) of the closing cylinder (10) are pressurized with an equal, high pressure which is as high as or higher than that required to obtain the required nominal closing force, whereby on moving the piston (7) of the closing cylinder (10) in the closing direction

Abstract: A rubber injection molding machine includes a mold rack, an injection position with lower and upper platens and an operator station. Rolling beams are mounted at opposite sides of the injection position and can be lifted and lowered. Between such beams is a mold carrier which can be moved in the rolling direction of the beams. The mold carrier grasps a clamping pin of a bottom half of the mold.

Abstract: An injection moulding machine has a framework (1), a fixed and a movable die platen (2, 8) and at least a piston-cylinder unit of a cylinder platen (3) that bears a hydraulic or electromechanical closure mechanism. The cylinder platen (3) and the fixed die platen (2) are interconnected only by the framework (1). The closure force exerted during injection moulding and the vertical thrust between the cylinder platen (3) and the die platen (2) are transmitted only through the framework (1). The intersection between the longitudinal center axis (LSK) of the closing die (5) and the longitudinal center axis (LBF) of the die platen (8) lies at the back of the movable die platen (8) and the point at which the force of the closing die (5) is transmitted to the movable die platen (8) is vertically displaceable in relation to the die platen (8).

Abstract: An arrangement for carrying out a two-stage linear movement with a stationary and a movable constructional unit, comprises a hydraulic cylinder and an hydraulic piston preferably in the form of a plunger. The hydraulic piston has a hollow volume which houses a plunger piston which, in turn, rests on a spindle rotated by a servomotor in the movable construct-ional unit. The plunger piston can be displaced axially in the hydraulic piston and also in the hydraulic cylinder by use of the spindle.

Abstract: An injection molding machine includes a machine frame, stationary and movable mold fixing plates and a cylinder plate carrying at lest one piston-cylinder unit. The cylinder plate and the stationary mold fixing plate are not connected as usual by beam members, but are connected exclusively by way of the machine frame. A piston of the piston-cylinder unit is rigidly connected to the movable mold fixing plate and is pivotable relative to a cylinder of the piston-cylinder unit.

Abstract: In an injection molding machine having a machine frame, a stationary mold mounting plate, a movable mold mounting plate and a support portion on the machine frame, which carries a mold closing mechanism, the support portion and the stationary mold mounting plate are connected exclusively by way of the machine frame. The closing force which occurs during the closing phase and the expansion force which occurs during injection, as between the support portion and the stationary mold mounting plate, are carried only by way of the machine frame. The mold mounting plates are mounted tiltably about a respective horizontal axis while a guide means is provided between the two mold mounting plates or the movable mold mounting plate and the machine frame.
