Plasticizing unit

A plasticizing unit (9) for an injection unit (3) of an injection moulding machine, with a cylinder (11) and with a screw, rotatable therein and movable in axial direction, with a support element (12) arranged beneath the cylinder (11) and connected therewith, and with a fixing element (13), which surrounds the end of the support element (12) facing away from the cylinder (11), in such a way that a distance is present between the fixing element (13) and the support element (12), wherein between the fixing element (13) and the support element (12) several adjusting elements (14a, 14b, 14c) are provided, which are configured to be able to produce a force-fitting and/or form-fitting connection between the fixing element (13) and the support element (12) and to adjust the position of the support element (12) relative to the fixing element (13) in a plane orthogonally to the cylinder axis,

• wherein
• three adjusting elements (14a, 14b, 14c) are provided,
• wherein a first adjusting element (14c) lies with its symmetry axis in the plane which is vertical and containing the cylinder axis,
• wherein this first adjusting element (14c) is arranged beneath the support element (12) and is configured for an adjusting of the position of the support element (12) relative to the fixing element (13) in vertical direction,
• wherein two further adjusting elements (14a, 14b) are provided, the symmetry axes of which lie in a vertical plane, which lies orthogonally to the cylinder axis,
• wherein on each side of the plane which is vertical and containing the cylinder axis respectively one of the two further adjusting elements (14a, 14b) is arranged and is configured for an adjusting of the position of the support element (12) relative to the fixing element (13) in horizontal direction.
