Abstract
A position control system including an actuator having a first end, an axis and including a driving device for moving the first end of the actuator in opposed directions, the first end of the actuator configured to move a hood between an open position and a closed position. A surface is associated with the hood that is configured to interact with the first end of the actuator in response to the first end of the actuator contacting and moving the hood between the open position and the closed position. The first end of the actuator moves along the axis and remains substantially coincident with the first axis while the first end moves the hood between the open position and the closed position.
