System and method for controlling movement of moldboard

An enclosure compartment for a cold planer machine, the enclosure compartment comprising:

• a frame defining an opening of the enclosure compartment;
• a moldboard connected to the frame, wherein the moldboard is configured to move vertically between a first position and a second position with respect to the frame;
• and
• an interfacing arrangement including a first pair of components carried by the frame and a second pair of components carried by the moldboard, the components of one of the first pair of components and the second pair of components having slanted edges, wherein the first and second pairs of components are configured to allow a lateral movement of the moldboard when the moldboard is in the first position and to engage one another to prevent the lateral movement of the moldboard when the moldboard is in the second position.

A method for controlling a movement of a moldboard with respect to a frame of a cold planer machine, the method comprising:

• providing an interfacing arrangement including a first pair of components carried by the frame and a second pair of components carried by the moldboard, the components of one of the first pair of components and the second pair of components having slanted edges;
• operating the moldboard between a first position and a second position,
• wherein the first and second pairs of components are configured to allow a lateral movement of the moldboard when the moldboard is in the first position, and
• wherein the first and second pairs of components are configured to engage one another to prevent the lateral movement of the moldboard when the moldboard is in the second position.
