Abstract
A method of installing a slide locking mechanism in a press mechanism so as to lock a press slide of the press mechanism in any of a plurality of positions. The press mechanism includes a gear train mounted in a housing. An installable slide locking mechanism, which includes a gear reducer and a locking gear, is mounted adjacent an opening made in the gear train housing. The gear reducer meshes with an input gear of the gear train, thereby preventing rotation of the gear train when the locking gear is moved to a locking position with respect to the gear reducer.
