Abstract
An injection unit positioning apparatus is disclosed that includes a positioning assembly interconnecting the injection unit to the molding machine. The positioning assembly includes an angular positioning assembly that permits rotation of the injection unit through a sweep plane that extends from an axis that is perpendicular to an inlet surface of a mold. The positioning assembly also includes a linear positioning assembly that permits linear translation of the injection unit on the sweep plane, and the height of the outlet relative to the inlet surface remains substantially constant during rotation and translation of the positioning assembly.
