TOOLING ADJUSTMENT
When a mold change is made, it is often necessary to
change the die gap tooling assembly. Therefore the ac-
tuator installation must provide for simple adjustment of
the die gap tooling position relative to the actuator posi-
tion. “
Figure 1-8
” shows two possible methods of ad-
justing the positional relationship between the tooling
actuator and the die gap tooling’s closed position. Tooling
motion stops may be required to limit the forces on the die
gap tooling when the die and mandrel touch. “
Figure 1-9
”
is a typical installation.
Some actuators with an anti-rotation
feature require the nut torque loads on the
anti-rotation device to be limited by ab-
sorbing the tightening torque with a
wrench on the actuator rod flats
