1. A die casting machine comprising:
at least one receiving frame for energy modules (4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E, 4F), the at least one receiving frame comprising:
fastening means (5A, 5A′) for fastening the at least one receiving frame on the die casting machine,
1 to 3 rows (5H, 5H′, 5H″) for receiving the energy modules (4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E, 4F), wherein each of the 1 to 3 rows (5H, 5H′, 5H″) comprises two profile pieces (5B, 5B′, 5B″, 5B′″) which are connected to one another, at their ends, by a connecting piece (5C, 5C′, 5C″, 5C′″, 5C″″, 5C′″″) or one of the energy modules (4E), forming a quadrangular interior space, wherein the 1 to 3 rows (5H, 5H′, 5H″) have means for arranging the energy modules (4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E, 4F) in their interior space and, when there is a plurality of rows, the rows are connected to one another, and
wherein the fastening means (5A, 5A′) for fastening the at least one receiving frame on the die casting machine are arranged on a profile piece (5B) forming an outer face of the at least one receiving frame (5), and the at least one receiving frame is fastened on the die casting machine (1) via the fastening means (5A, 5A′), forming an interspace (5I) between the die casting machine (1) and a row of the 1 to 3 rows adjacent to the die casting machine (1).
