Abstract

A cassette-type molding die comprises a die plate unit having fitting bores and a cassette die unit including movable and stationary cassette plates between which a molding cavity is defined, an ejector cassette plate, and ejector pins disposed between the movable cassette plate and the ejector cassette plate. The cassette die unit can be detachably inserted into the fitting bores of the die plate unit. As a result, the cassette die unit can be easily exchanged with another cassette die unit while the movable and stationary die plates of the die plate unit are very close together. This speeds up the process of changing cassette die units, and also allows for the overall cassette-type molding die to be smaller than conventional units.
