ABSTRACT:
A mold press includes an upper mold carrier mounted to slide up and down along an upright mold press frame and to rotate about a horizontal rotation axis. The mold press frame is supported on a mold press base to tip forward and aft about a horizontal upper mold pivot axis disposed parallel to and below the rotation axis. A lower mold carrier is supported on the mold press base below the upper mold carrier and above the upper mold pivot axis. The lower mold carrier includes a lower mold mounting plate that is pivotally supported on the mold press base for tipping motion along a hinged edge about a lower mold pivot axis that lies parallel to and below the rotation axis and above the upper mold pivot axis. An electronic motion controller may be programmed to coordinate the reciprocating, tipping and rotating motions to accommodate a variety of mold/retainer configurations. The motion controller may be also be programmed to move the upper mold carrier and an attached upper mold portion into ergonomically optimum positions that meet different operations' needs.
