Patent attributes
The invention provides an injection molding machine that prevents inclination of a stationary platen by a nozzle touch force. A groove is formed in a base along the axis of injection. Protrusions are provided on both lateral sides of the stationary platen. A bottom of the stationary platen is fixed on a bottom of the groove and bottoms of the protrusions are fixed on tops of ridged formed at opposite sides of the groove. A nozzle touch force applied by a nozzle provided on the front of a screw cylinder is applied against substantially the center portion of the stationary platen. A distance in the direction of height from the bottoms of the protrusions that fixedly mount the stationary platen on the base to the height position of the nozzle touch force is smaller than when the stationary platen is not fixedly mounted on the base using protrusions, and therefore the moment exerted by the nozzle touch force that attempts to incline the stationary platen is smaller than it would be otherwise, preventing the stationary platen from inclining.
