Abstract:
A multiple-slide die-casting machine including a base, at least a guideway having side walls and two opposed ends mounted on the base, at least two clamping assemblies guided within the respective ends of the guideway for advancing and retracting slide mold sections towards and away from each other, and an injection system for introducing pressurised casting material into a cavity between the slide mold sections when the slide mold sections are in a molding position in which the slide mold sections are restrained together in a preloaded state, the multiple-slide die-casting machine comprising:at least two brackets supported on said base for operatively securing the respective clamping assemblies, and a reinforcement means for interconnecting said brackets to inhibit deflection of said base and said brackets induced by the force generated by said clamping assemblies for maintaining the preloaded state.
