Latest Patents
One of his key patents is the Hydraulic Closing Unit. This invention is designed specifically for injection molding machines that process plastic materials. The hydraulic closing unit features a mold clamping plate that is slidably guided on guide columns between a stationary support plate and a stationary mold clamping plate. An annular main piston exerts a high mold closing force in the mold closing direction. The main piston is axially slidably guided in the stationary support plate, allowing load to be applied to both sides of the main piston. The design includes at least two coupling planes between the main piston and the central pressure column, which are mounted spaced apart and one behind the other in the sliding direction of the mold clamping plate. This allows the main piston and the pressure column to slide relative to each other over the distance range between the coupling planes.
