Abstract
The invention relates to a molding tool having a tool upper part (10) and a tool lower part (20), having a glass pane (30) arranged between tool upper part (10) and tool lower part (20) and at least one sheet metal insert part (32; 321, 322, 323, 324) that can be connected to the glass pane (30) by means of foam overmolding (36) made of plastic. For an increased process reliability when connecting sheet metal insert parts (32; 321, 322, 323, 324) to panes (30), the invention provides that at least one sensor (40) for detecting the position of the sheet metal insert part (32; 321, 322, 323, 324) is arranged on the tool upper part (10) and/or the tool lower part (20) on the side of the glass pane (30) that is located opposite the at least one sheet metal insert part (32; 321, 322, 323, 324).
