ABSTRACT:
A clamping system includes a fixed platen fixed to one end of a machine base and a plurality of clamping cylinders, the fixed platen holding a fixed mold therein, a movable platen fixed to the other end of the machine base and holding a movable mold therein, a plurality of tie bars extending through the movable platen and including pistons at their one ends, the pistons being slidably received within the clamping cylinders, and screw threads or grooves substantially at its longitudinal center, a unit disposed between the movable platen and the fixed platen and operable to move the movable platen to and from the fixed platen, and two-part nuts mounted to the movable platen and meshingly engageable with the screw threads or grooves of the tie bars. When the total thickness of the fixed mold and the movable mold is exactly divisible by the pitch of the two-part nut, the tie bars are so sized that the screw threads or grooves can be brought into meshing engagement with the two-part nuts while the pistons are located in a rearward position. When there is a remainder, adjuster is operative to move the two-part nuts into meshing engagement with the screw threads or grooves of the tie bars. Such adjuster is disposed between the movable platen and the two-part nuts.
