When design locating ring, first rule is look at your injection machine catalog or hand book, and find the dimension of locating ring. If dimension of locating is bigger or smaller than dimension of hold on fix plate, this mold can not assemble on the injection machine.

+ Dimension of each machine is different, and hole dimension of fix plate is usually ~100~300 mm. You can reference dimension at table below. This is data of CLF- factory (Taiwan)

from picture above we know that locating ring diameter is 100~250 mm , so your locating ring outer diameter must same with those injection machine locating ring hole.
