Abstract
An injection molding machine includes a base, a platen mounted to the base for supporting a mold portion and a linear support fixed to the base. A retainer is coupled to the linear support and is translatable relative to the linear support along a longitudinal axis between a retracted position and an advanced position. The injection molding machine also includes an injection unit slidably supported on the linear support and coupled to the retainer. The injection unit is pivotable relative to the retainer and translatable with the retainer relative to the linear support. The injection unit includes a bearing surface resting directly upon the linear support for transferring weight of the injection unit thereto.
