A probe for plastic injection molds and the like measures the separation between mold parts due to pressurization of the molten plastic in the mold cavity. T he probe may be connected to a system controller to halt the injection process if excessi ve separation is detected to thereby prevent damage to the molding apparatus. The mold set-up and/or design may be modified to prevent separation between the mold parts, thereby eliminating flash and potential damage to the molding apparatus. A computer may be coupl ed to the probe to store, process and display information from the probe concerning separation of the mold parts. |
