One of the new Eagle molds with cores was put in MP17 this weekend. To the best of my knowledge, 17 has never ran cores before. Gary wired up the pull and set switches and everything worked fine. The sequence is different than the other presses. Sequence 1 is set and pull before close, 3 is set and pull after close and I'm not sure what 2 is. I'll try to put some indicator lights on the panel when it's down.
MP5 has a pre-fill valve not open in time alarm. If you probe the open side then the close side of the valve while someone is pressing clamp open it will shift and the mold will open. I checked the voltage to the valve then switched the coils out. I removed the valve and the check valve behind it cleaned and inspected them. The value seems to move smoothly. The press is still down. If number 3 is down tomorrow night I want to trade the valves out.
