Abstract
A horizontal injection molding machine includes two platens, of which one can be a fixed or a moving platen and the other a moving platen, with the platens moving on horizontal columns, and a mold half carrier which is rotatably supported by a turntable and carries mold halves for injection molding tools. A yoke extends between the upper columns for movement along the upper columns. The mold half carrier has on its top side a pivot pin which engages in an opening of the yoke. This arrangement eliminates or at least reduces forces on the columns due to weight and torques.
