Building a better automatic injection moulder (DIY) -part 1

Part 1. Building the clamping section.

From what I've learnt building the previous machine I'm building this one to be much more robust and reliable. The clamp in particular is heavier duty and includes a feedback system to measure the clamping force.

This machine when finished will be for home use by myself and will use 100% recycled plastic to mould into new parts.
