Abstract
A locating system for an adjustable clamp frame of a molding machine is disclosed. The locating system can be used to repeatably configure the clamp frame to an appropriate perimeter size for a desired mold without the use of measurements or the mold itself. The inventive locating system includes two sets of a first and a second plate, a pair of end locating members, two sets of a first and a second bracket, and a pair of side locating members. The locating members, the plates, and the brackets each include indicia to provide an assembly code that can be used to facilitate configuring the clamp frame.
