Abstract: There are provided an apparatus for taking out a molded product that allows a physical amount such as the mass of the taking portion to be easily acquired with a relatively simple configuration. A posture reversing mechanism is provided between the elevating arm and the taking portion to change the direction of the taking portion between an unreversed state in which the taking portion is directed to be able to take hold of the molded product molded in the die, and a reversed state in which the length of the taking portion in the vertical direction is shorter than that in the unreversed state. A sensor detects vibration of the elevating arm. A mass estimating section estimates the mass of the taking portion on the basis of vibration of the elevating arm detected by the sensor when the taking portion is in the reversed state.
