MOLD CLAMPING DEVICE AND MOLD CLAMPING METHOD

摘要

An object is to provide a mold-clamping apparatus (10) which can sufficiently increase accuracy of mold opening and closing. The mold-clamping apparatus (10) includes a first stationary member to which a stationary mold (15) is attached; a first movable member disposed in opposition to the first stationary member and to which a movable mold (16) is attached; a second movable member which is advanced and retreated in association with advancement and retreat of the first movable member; a mold-clamping-force transmission member connecting the first and second movable members; and a drive section for mold opening and closing, the drive section advancing and retreating the first movable member to thereby effect mold opening and closing. The drive section for mold opening and closing overlaps the mold-clamping-force transmission member at least partially. Since the drive section for mold opening and closing and the drive section for mold clamping are provided independently of each other, the drive section for mold opening and closing and the first movable member can be connected directly. Accordingly, the accuracy of mold opening and closing can be enhanced sufficiently.
