Abstract:
An injection molding machine comprising a movable platen (20) having a first mold mounting surface, a stationary platen (12) with a cylindrical bore (22), a ram (15) received within the cylindrical bore (22), and a die platen (11) having a second mold mounting surface, wherein the die platen (11) is attached to the ram (15) and positioned between the stationary and movable platen so that pressure applied to the ram (15) will serve to provide clamping force to a mold mounted between the first and second mold mounting surfaces, the molding machine further comprising adjustable support means (46) for stabilizing the position of the ram (15) relative to the cylindrical bore (22) and aligning the second mold mounting surface to the first mold mounting surface.
