Abstract: In an injection press having a mold in the form of a moveable die positioned on a moveable plate and a fixed die positioned on a fixed plate, the moveable die is moved to a compression starting position which is spaced slightly from the fixed die, the resin to be molded is injected into the mold cavity between the two dies, and the moveable die is then moved towards the fixed die to compress the thus injected resin. The compression starting position is determined by mechanical positioning means which can adjust the compression starting position. The stroke deviation for the compression can be adjusted by detecting the position of the moveable plate during the compression stroke so that the levelness of the moveable die can always be maintained during the compression stroke. Thus, the parallelism of the two dies can be stably maintained against the injection pressure.
