A mold press includes an upper mold carrier mounted to
slide up and down along an upright mold press frame and to rotate about a
horizontal rotation axis. The mold press frame is supported on a mold press base
to tip forward and aft about a horizontal upper mold pivot axis disposed
parallel to and below the rotation axis. A lower mold carrier is supported on
the mold press base below the upper mold carrier and above the upper mold pivot
axis. The lower mold carrier includes a lower mold mounting plate that is
pivotally supported on the mold press base for tipping motion along a hinged
edge about a lower mold pivot axis that lies parallel to and below the rotation
axis and above the upper mold pivot axis. An electronic motion controller may be
programmed to coordinate the reciprocating, tipping and rotating motions to
accommodate a variety of mold/retainer configurations. The motion controller may
also be programmed to move the upper mold carrier and an attached upper mold
portion into ergonomically optimum positions that meet different operators'
needs.
