1/7/10 FYI
Stiffener and nut press station at MP10 would not seat the stiffeners consistently in the plastic connector. Ronnie and myself checked the machine, it was OK. Ronnie increased the supply air pressure to max line pressure. Still problems. We checked the parts and it looked like the opening in the parts for the stiffener was smaller than the print allowed. On further examination of the inside of the pocket where the metal stiffener seats, we found additional plastic down in the hole about three-quarters of the way down that provided interference. We checked the chiller temp, set at 53 degrees.
Checked the water and water flow. Cores for the stiffener pocket were blazing hot. We got the process tech to slow the machine down from 54 seconds to 59 and immediately the parts looked much better and we were pressing with no problems. I believe the correct cycle time on paper is 60 seconds.
