Abstract
A glue machine for a corrugator single facer utilizes a system of simultaneously operated linear actuators to move the glue machine from an idle position adjacent the single facer to a locked position on the single facer, and then to a running position with the glue machine glue roll in a pre-established position with respect to a corrugating roll on the single facer. The glue machine is carried on laterally spaced pairs of front wheels and rear wheels mounted on pivot arms. The linear actuators are preferably air cylinders interconnecting front and rear wheel pivot arms to provide sequential glue machine frame movement from the idle to the locked position, followed by movement to the running position.
