摘要

Tool clamping unit of an injection molding machine has a central rotatable tool carrier in a frame fixed to the machine frame between moveable platens : The central tool half carrier (13) in conjunction with the outer tool-carrying platens allows four tool halves to be used. The central tool carrier has a tool half turning mechanism mounted in a frame(19) through which tie bars (21) connecting the end platens pass. The tool carrying frame is firmly connected to the machine frame (5) and the outer tool carrying platens are able to move along the machine frame.
