Abstract
A score knife positioner includes a carriage bracket having a locating tab for receiving a score knife assembly. Linear bearings are attached to the carriage bracket and are configured to engage with a pair of guide rails. The linear bearings are offset from one another and located so that score knife positioners on either side of a particular score knife positioner can be nested together. The carriage bracket has a width less than a width of the score knife assembly and allows adjacent score knife assemblies to be positioned so that there is less than one-half inch between score knifes. Score knife positioners can be moved to a desired location and locked into place via a carriage brake attached to the carriage bracket.
