Ha ha, we went OT on the OT. :) The new build is from scratch. Electro driven knee press mechanics, 30-35 ton clamping force but not a very large shot size. Really small floor area is used, the machine is vertical. My "real" machine can be tilted vertical but that is not to make a smaller foot pring, a vertical machine is perfect when there are pieces that should be molded into the plastic, like threads or reinforcements.
