" C " Shift

   Made e.o.a.t. for  bag dock on mp – 24

 

 Vacuumed out oil pans on MP – 1, 6, & 21.

 

 Removed broken safety glass from molding breakroom door ; I will e-mail facilities maint. to order new glass.

 

 Still having trouble with mp-13  occasionally ; checking for loose connections etc.

   MP-4    Tech could’nt get cores to operate;  Top cover mold 77041 requires core 2  to be on timer.

 

  I followed up on purchase reqs & ordered barrel heater bands for MP 22 & 23, barrel htr. bands for MP 2 thru 5, T.C. connectors for MP 5, &

 

      Mold locating rins for MP 22 & 23.

 

I have been troubleshooting MP 13. The pump shuts down during cycle – ( no alarm code ).  I will send another e-mail w/ info when I  figure it out.

This Week

We should have all the vertical conveyors wired now.  (Interroll)

 

The butterfly bolts broke out of MP20 on Thursday, on inspection the bushing was wore out, the steel has many stress cracks in it.  A new butterfly plate is $3K.  So we replaced the bushing and broken bolts, faced off the knock out rods and put it back into production.  The plan is to replace the press on the next go round.  This is the second time in 2 weeks that I know about.

 

The new CPU and FHD boards came in for MP5, also the FHD protection kit.  I set the jumpers on the boards like the old ones and installed them and the protection kit. 

 

The table for the new hydraulic hose crimper and cut saw is complete and located behind the flammables cabinet in the shop. 

 

Gary made (3) communication tables w/ boards.  We ran out of feet for the legs, so when more come in we will install.  Extra com board lexan sheets are located on top of the flammable cabinet in the shop.

 

When I came in Friday, Darrell said MP23 was down.  Nozzle zone wasn’t heating.  A 12A fuse was blown and it was an odd fuse, couldn’t find one so I temporarily installed a fuse block w/ fuse we had in stock.  I will order some additional fuse blocks because I think the other new machines have these odd fuses.  I will put them in the project cabinet.

 

Someone requested a new hydraulic hose and it is laying on the molding maintenance table.

 

I took inventory of the Dummy plugs we are missing for the robots that are installed and we need (4) more made.  I will try to do that today and get them attached to the corresponding press.

 

Fastenal has been in this week trying to fill in the voids on our fasteners.  They will consolidate all of the metric bolts to one area with the smaller ones (m3 and m4) in drawers.  They are going to leave a dry erase board back in the bolt bin area so we can write down items we need as we identify them.

Fastenal will organize all our bins for us.

 

We mounted the remaining Eagle nests on the nutrunner stations and rolled them to the molding equipment storage area by the racking.  Still need to do the electrical controls, plc, program for the sole plate press.  (It has guards in place and can be run pneumatically for now.)

 

I ordered new bolts for the end cap on the barrel on MP5.

8.17.09 night shift

#8- Changed the x-axis drive gear on the motor. Took the only one we had from MRO so we will be needing another.

PM'd robot on #5 press. It had about 15 broken screws that secure the rails on the z-axis. Cleaned and inspected everything else on it. Looks good now, wasn't sure about the encoder that got put on it yesterday, did anyone check it?

#6 robot- ran the pendant over to oper. side and made a hanging bracket for it. Still did not get the input tied in for clamp closed, we will look for a window to do that.

#21- Ronnie and I discussed that we need to take care of those leaks sometime. It will likely take awhile, I haven't done a clamp seal yet so we need to get with Jerome and set up a time to do that?

Call if there are any questions. Hank was in late last night looking for something?

8.16.09 night shift

#8 robot-Changed out y axis motor and encoder from #5 and put on #8 due to problems with position. Ok and running, but we do not have any available encoders for #5 or any spares in MRO at all.

#25- put the spacer plate on that tooling provided. Torqued all screws to 170 lbs and applied rust preventative to both sides before mounting it on. It fit well. We made new ejector bars (4) to accomodate the increased length.

#20 robot- did a thorough PM and built a eaot, went through and checked it out making preliminary adjustments as needed. It is running.

#24 robot- Did a "once over" PM on it. Marty did not want to shut it down.

#6 robot- did not get to do anything to it today as it ran all shift.

#12 welder- made some changes to the welder set-up due to parts failing leak test and welding poorly. I saved two parts after changes, then at 5am, I was asked to put the settings back to where they had it on days and I did.
The only things that I changes were hold time, forces 1,2,and 3.
I changed things one at a time on a basis as to whether it made it better same or worse.
I could not understand why they had hold time at .04 secs? I had ran it at 3 secs. With less force (700) instead of (1000).
FYI-The parts that were in the first peice bag did not pass leak test either and the primary problem area was where the bag dock slips over the connector.
Call if you have any questions.

Sean, If they will give you the machine, finish the interface on 6 tonight. We finished robot install on 20 and 24. Robot on 20 needs a good PM before start up.
