The engineering question
Check mounting footprint against platen, mold envelope against tie-bar opening, mold height against the published range, then review daylight, ejector interface, bolting, weight, and access.
What to document
Platen size is not tie-bar clearance; both are machine-specific published dimensions and neither replaces installation review.
Practical workflow
Use Platen Fit, Tie-Bar Clearance, and Mold Height Compatibility.
Validation boundary
Use manufacturer documentation, grade-specific supplier data, controlled process records, and trials for any equipment, quality, material, or commercial commitment. A static calculator is a transparent starting point, not a simulation or approval.
