Clamping System Specification

Clamping Force (Tons):

the maximum clamping force holding the mold closed as determined by SPI standard;.

Clamping Opening  Force )Tons): the maximum force that a machine will exert to initiate the opening of the mold.

Clamp Stroke(Max) Inches:

the maximum distance that the opening and closing mechanism can traverse a platen. This meet mold or molding requirements.

Open Daylight (Max.) Inches:

the maximum distance that can be obtained between the stationary platen and the moving platen when the actuating mechanism is fully retracted with or without ejector box and/or spacers.

Closed Daylight or Minimum Mold Thickness (Inches):

the distance between the stationary platen and the moving platen when actuating mechanism is fully extended with or without ejector box and/or spacers Minimum mold thickness will vary, depending upon the size and kind of ejector boxes and/or spacer used.

Maximum Closed Daylight (Inches):

the distance between the stationary platen and the moving platen when the actuating mechanism is fully extended without ejector box and/or spacers.

Minimum Closed Daylight (Inches):

the distance between the stationary platen and the moving platen when the actuating mechanism is fully extended with standard ejector box and/or spacers.
