Tuesday A Shift

Got MP2 running today, but the eject option I tried to add never did work.  The software did not want to cooperate.  How it is running now is that I have the ball valves cracked a little and I’m just reading the butterfly position, not the switches on the mold.  I also turned on the core 2 option, but I never tried it out.  They needed parts and we’ll just deal with it later.

Robot on MP7 is ready.  X axis was not reading position.  Gary swapped out the encoder with the new style and also ran a new cable down to the plug on the beam.  It still would not work and we ended up finding pin 1 loose in the plug.  The plastic is wore out and the pin does not want to stay, so right now we just forced it in there and wire tied it good.  If you have problems with X axis in the future, check pin 1 on the encoder plug first.

MP10 bowl feeder still needs a little work.  Gary is going to come in for a bit tomorrow and work on it.

 

Thanks
