Abstract
A manufacturing insert for a molding press having an upper movable platen adapted to support a male mold member and a fixed lower platen adapted to support a female mold member. The molding press includes a mix head system and a hydraulic ejector system supported below the fixed lower platen. The manufacturing insert includes a table having a platen surface with legs depending downwardly therefrom, the legs being removably securable to the fixed lower platen of the molding press. The platen surface includes an enlarged opening therethrough. A mix head support system is supported below the platen surface intermediate the legs of the table. The mix head support system includes a mix head support for supporting a mix head and a slide system for permitting three dimensional movement of the mix head support to permit movement of the mix head from a first position where the mix head extends through the enlarged opening in the platen surface and to a second position where the mix head is beyond the upper platen.
