The present invention relates to at least one mold (K) used for the manufacturing of parts in an autoclave oven (O), a body (2) suitable for use in the autoclave oven (O) and located on the mold (K), at least one rod (3) which is located on the body (2) and is capable to elongate and contract due to heat, at least one gear (4) located on the body (2) so as to rotate about its own axis, a gear (4) which extends when the heat in the autoclave oven (O) increases to trigger the gear (4), and which is triggered by the rod (3) to rotate about its own axis, and a counter (5) which is triggered with the rotational movement of the gear (4) and provides information about the number of uses of the mold (K) depending on the rotational movement.

A cycle counter mechanism is provided for monitoring the service life of layup molds, such as a mold used for the manufacturing of parts in an autoclave oven. A body that is suitable for use in the autoclave oven is located on the mold. At least one rod is located on the body which elongates and contracts due to heat. At least one gear is located on the body so as to rotate about its own axis and which extends when the heat in the autoclave oven increases to trigger the gear. A gear is triggered by the rod to rotate about its own axis. A counter is triggered with the rotational movement of the gear and provides information about the number of uses of the mold depending on the rotational movement.
