CASSETTE TOOL DEVICE AND CASSETTE TOOL CARRIER USED THERE

Abstract

The cassette tool device (10) forms a molded product using a cassette tool (20) arranged between a stationary tool (18) and a movable tool (19), and designed to be interchangeable depending on the molded product. A gap (14) is formed between a first support section (12), which supports a stationary plate (15), and a second support section, which supports a movable plate (16). A cassette tool exchange device (30) for exchanging the cassette tool (20) is arranged in the gap (14).The cassette tool exchange device (30) comprises a slide (32) configured to move in the same direction as the direction of movement of the movable tool (19), a lifter (36) configured to place the cassette tool (20) on it and configured to move in a vertical direction relative to the slide (32), and a control device (17) configured to control the slide (32) and the lifter (36).
