ABSTRACT:
A mold closing apparatus and process for use with an injection molding machine are described. The mold is opened and closed by hydraulic pressure. The disclosed apparatus and method relate to the use of an immobile differential piston within a displaceable, double-acting differential piston which moves within an immobile piston cylinder. This arrangement permits the use of smaller diameters to produce the necessary closing force. The immobile differential piston comprises the necessary hydraulic passages for routing hydraulic fluid to the appropriate surfaces for exerting opening and closing forces.
The use of a plurality of displaceable, single-acting pistons in parallel with the differential piston further reduces the diameters needed for exerting the closing force. Locating these single-acting pistons within the support column cylinders makes for an even more compact apparatus.
