The invention provides a forming station comprising a meas for automatically detecting the opening of mould supports. The invention relates to the forming station (10) for blowing and forming a thermoplastic material container. The forming station is provided with components of a turntable (12) which is rotatably mounted on a base (14) around a vertical axis (A); a plurality of mould units (18) which are bear by the turntable (12), wherein each mould unit (18) has two mould supports (22,24), and the mould supports are mounted in a manner of being movable between an open position and a closingposition; and a locking device (42) which is used for locking the mould suports (22,24) to a closing position, wherein the locking device is controlled in an unlocked state and a locking state. The forming station is characterized in that the forming station (10) comprises a detecting device for performing automatic detection when the mould supports (22,24) of each mould unit (18) are at the closing position no matter the state of the locking device (42). The invention further relates to an application method of the forming station.
