A press apparatus for forming molded products is provided and includes an motive source and a press assembly in fluid communication with the motive source. The press assembly includes a press plate and a device configured to actuate axial movement of the press plate as initiated by the motive source. A mold base is positioned within the press assembly and configured for engagement with the press plate. The mold base includes a plurality of mold cavities and each of the mold cavities includes a mold cavity aperture. Each of the mold cavity apertures is arranged in a pattern and configured to provide access to a molded product positioned in a mold cavity. A release assembly is configured for engagement with the mold base and has a plurality of release fingers, each extending from a base plate. The plurality of release fingers is arranged in a pattern that aligns with the pattern of the mold cavity apertures.

A detection device includes a passing roller, a measurement unit, and a processing module. The passing roller is configured for the electrode plate to pass over. The measurement unit is disposed on the passing roller, and is configured to measure a pressure acting on the passing roller by the electrode plate. The processing module is configured to judge whether the electrode plate is qualified according to the pressure measured by the measurement unit.
