Abstract:
A die casting machine, comprising at least one die casting tool having relatively movable clamping plates and separable tool parts mounted between the relatively movable clamping plates, means for opening and closing the separable tool parts of the die casting tool, and a force-flow-circuit isolating apparatus which includes an associated drive directly associated with the separable tool parts and configured with mating surfaces separate from the clamping plates configured to selectively and lockingly clamp and press together the separable tool parts during a die casting operation against spreading forces acting thereupon from a pressure of a molten metal mass between the separable tool parts such that the spreading forces are caused to be isolated totally within separable tool parts and without transmission to the clamping plates and other structural members of the die casting tool external to the force-flow circuit isolating apparatus.
