SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ATTACHING AND ALIGNING A TAMPERHEAD IN PRODUCTION MACHINERY

摘要

The present invention generally pertains to a locking pin system for installing a tamperhead into production machinery. The system may include at least one locking pin having a retaining groove which is mounted on the tamperhead. The system allows the tamperhead to move relative to the production machinery until the pin is locked with respe ct to the production machinery. The production machinery includes an opening which may be configured to receive the locking pin. During use, the pin may be inserted into the opening in the production machinery and the tamperhead may be moved into alignment. Once the tamperhea d is aligned, the pin may be locked to prevent further movement of the tamperhead.
