Powered mounts for quickly mounting mold parts on molding machine platens

摘要

A mounting plate attachable to a molding machine platen has a plurality of retention slots. A plurality of hydraulically-actuated clamps have heads in respective retention slots. Each clamp includes a piston and a cylinder, and a clamping ring adjustably positionable along the cylinder. Actuation of the clamp causes a mold part to be pressed toward the platen to hold it in an adjusted position.
