Injection Moulding Machines
Injection molding machine moulds can be fastened in either a horizontal or vertical position.
Most machines are horizontally oriented, but vertical machines are used in some niche
applications such as insert molding, allowing the machine to take advantage of gravity. Some
vertical machines also do not require the mold to be fastened. There are many ways to fasten the
tools to the platens, the most common are manual clamps (both halves are bolted to the platens);
however, hydraulic clamps (chocks are used to hold the tool in place) and magnetic clamps are
also used. The magnetic and hydraulic clamps are used where fast tool changes are required.
