1. A mold-clamping machine comprising:
a bed fastened to a floor or a machine stand;
a pressure receiving mount fastened to the bed;
a turn table mounted on the pressure receiving mount so as to be freely turnable;
a movable mount placed at a position higher than the turn table;
a traction mount placed at a position lower than the pressure receiving mount;
a tie bar which is attached to the movable mount so as to extend downwardly, and which passes completely through the pressure receiving mount and the traction mount; and
a mold-clamping mechanism that moves down the traction mount relative to the pressure receiving mount so as to move down the tie bar and the movable mount,
wherein an engage portion is provided at a lower end of the tie bar, and a half nut that is engaged with the engage portion is provided under the traction mount,
wherein the mold-clamping machine clamps a metal mold placed between the turn table and the movable mount,
wherein the tie bar comprises:
a first tie bar placed at a rotation center of the turn table; and
second and third tie bars placed outside the turn table in a planar view,
wherein each of the first to third tie bars is supported so as to be freely movable up and down by each of first to third cylindrical guides provided at the pressure receiving mount, and
wherein the second cylindrical guide and the third cylindrical guide each integrally include a rectangular flange portion fastened to the pressure receiving mount, and respective attachment attitudes of the second cylindrical guide and the third cylindrical guide are adjustable by placing a shim between one of a plurality of sides of the rectangular flange portion and the pressure receiving mount.
