MACHINE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF HOLLOW GLASS AND ASSOCIATED METHOD

The present invention relates to a system for aligning and positioning a male mechanism - pneumatic or servo-electric - to be used at the blank station side of a section of a hollow glass forming machine. The system comprises a mechanism, comprising at least one plunger or a driving unit driven by a servomotor, a guide flange composed of an internal flange for retaining the mechanism in position, and an external flange . This latter comprises a resting face intended to stand at least partially on the upper plate of a housing of the section, and fixing and centering means for fixing the flange to the upper plane. The system further comprises a base plate for supporting the mechanism. The plate is slidingly mounted on at least one guide bar, rigidly fixed to the resting face of the external flange and intended to allow the base plate to slide along a sliding direction substantially orthogonal to the plane wherein the external flange lies. The base plate rests on a height adjustment group , suspended to said upper plane and intended to move the plate along the guide.
