3.3.10 nights D shift

MP#10 Robot- was stopping in mold and at part drop. Found a loose sensor connection on the C axis. Tightened it up. No further problems from that, but then an hour later it would stop over the part drop area with parts. I found that the Z position was not going all the way to set point. Noticed that the belt was off track and loose. Adjusted tracking and tightened it up and had no further problems with 10.

Mp#9 Robot- stopped once at 4am and would not home. Powered it down and reset. referenced it and it would try to home after reference but it could not go to Z at mold position (set at 30) because it was already against the back stop (reading 40 as actual value). We jogged it into the mold and aligned it with parts and it appeared that the Z in mold needed to be at 72 at that point. So we changed that value only to 72 and it started running fine until it went down an hour later. Mark and I discussed changing out to the new encoder style on that axis possibly. Also talked to Potter about that too.

Mp#13- Mold setter was having trouble removing mold from machine. we used die bars to pry it out, then next tool wouldn't fit without forcing so we went around the I.D. of locating ring with a die grinder and cleaned it up. Then tool fit good. O.K. to run.

Finished E-stop install on #22 and checked operation of it. Ran the box and flex for #23 but have not tied it in as they were still running the press. I will continue with that and signs tomorrow. Call if there are any questions, I'll be glad to help.
