Started the day with problems at MP10, the connector nut insertion station. The left side was jamming every 10 parts or so, with somehow feeding (2) black nuts and trying to press them. It ends up that it was an inertia problem with the black nut slide, it traveled so fast outward and was bumping the track so that the first nut moved forward and allowed a second nut to feed down in place to be pressed. We disassembled the left side, installed a directional flow control on the black nut slide cylinder and adjusted it about half way and reassembled. The problem went away.
There was an eight bank D-M-E heater controller and some cards that were burned up, probably from inserting or removing cards with the power on. Ronnie and I gathered enough new components from MRO to put a new system together. The problem was that who ever ordered the new D-M-E controllers a few years ago, ordered them wired 240V three phase. So we had to rewire the controller for single phase 240VAC. After checking everything out plugged in to a mold, I attached a label indicating not to move cards with power on.
Helped set up robot on press 25 for brush roll end caps.
Snowing today, I heard the plant was closing at 4pm because of weather.
