Patent ID: 10946571

Abstract:
The invention relates to a mould clamp for an injection moulding machine, comprising a device for automatically adapting to the mould height of injection moulds (13) of different heights (a). A clamping device supported on an adjustable supporting element (21) is provided for moving a movable mould carrier (11) in the clamping direction (s-s) towards and away from the stationary mould carrier (10). A distance (x) between the stationary mould carrier (10) and the adjustable supporting element (21) can be adjusted by moving the supporting element, by means of a mould height adjustment system (14). A locking device (16) detachably locks the supporting element (21) in the respective position thereof, by pretensioning locking elements. A dynamically actuatable mould height adjustment system is produced by the locking elements being selectively relieved or pre-tensioned by active actuating elements, the pretension being cancelled in order to release the mould height adjustment system (14).
