An invert and neck ring holder mechanism having an opposed pair of neck ring holders displaceable from a blow station to a blank station of a section of an I.S. machine. The invert and neck ring holder mechanism has a pair of an opposed pair of pneumatically operated cylinder assemblies extending between a gear housing a gear and side brackets including a cylinder housing supporting a neck ring holder support rotatable with the gear and axially displaceable from an open position to a closed position. Each of the cylinder housings includes a target sensed by a sensor when the neck ring holder support is at the closed position. Each of the targets is configured so as to be sensed by the associated sensor for a selected angular range when the neck ring holder support is at the closed position. The angle of displacement of the neck ring holder supports when the sensors sense the associated target are determined so that the condition of the pneumatic cylinder can be evaluated and so that offsets can be defined for variations between actual and programmed angles for event occurrences.
An invert and neck ring holder mechanism for displacing a parison from a blank station to a blow station on an I.S. machine having an invert and neck ring holder assembly including a cylinder with a support for supporting a neck ring holder which carries at least one neck ring half wherein the cylinder is axially displaceable between neck ring closed and neck ring open positions and rotatively displaceable approximately 180.degree. between a 180.degree. blank station location and a 0.degree. blow station location, comprising
An invert and neck ring holder mechanism for displacing a parison from a blank station to a blow station on an I.S. machine having an invert and neck ring holder assembly including a pair of cylinders each with a support for supporting an neck ring holder which carries at least one neck ring half wherein each cylinder is axially displaceable between neck ring closed and neck ring open positions and rotatively displaceable approximately 180.degree. between a 0.degree. blow station location to a 180.degree. blank station location, comprising
