Abstract

A gripping and positioning tool to properly position elements into an open mold of a molding machine is described herein. The tool includes a base that receives the element and that may be moved along three orthogonal axes and tilted in two directions with respect to a fixed plate mounted to an assembly. Furthermore, the tool includes graduated scales to determine the degree of tilting, and fasteners to lock in place the gripping and positioning tool once the proper adjustment for positioning is made.
