Abstract
A system and method for determining the position of a flow of melt within an injection molding system comprises a switch and a pin that actuates the switch. The pin has a first end positioned closer to the anticipated flow path of the melt and a second end that is positioned to be in contact with the switch, such that when melt enters the anticipated flow path, the pin is pushed to activate the switch.
