Tool holder for blow molding machine includes adjustment to centralize and align the two halves of the mold radially and axially

摘要

The mold comprises two halves (5), which are supported in a holder (3) that opens along a hinge (7). The holder has alignment strips (11, 12) to ensure radial centralization and longitudinal alignment when the holder is closed. The alignment can be obtained by shims placed at a slight angle e.g. 1 to 10 [deg], to provide contact when the holder is closed.
