Spent several hours on our favorite two presses today, MP8 and 10
It all started with MP10 stopping periodically. (The pump dropping out) We wanted to rule out machine or robot.
A jumper was placed between pins 19 and 27 in the robot interface plug to bypass the robot estop stuff.
The pump would continue to drop out here and there. It seems to always drop out when the robot is either on its way to drop a part off or down in the conveyor guard, so basically when the machine is clamping up or building tonnage. Looked at the control cabinet door switches and added screws to keep control power on solid. Replaced the bottom safety switch on the back door, fixed the latch on the back door, it was rolling back some after you closed it. The purge cover door switch cable was just bare wires twisted together, wirenutted and taped it up. This is where we got to when MP8
Reared its ugly head.
MP8 would not pick parts and the EOAT was all out of whack. So a couple of hours later we started picking parts again on a consistent basis.
We should put our heads together with our tooling and look at some improvements. Gary and I talked and he brought up some good points that could fix some problems we saw today. Tie the two discs together at the proper center spacing, fab and mount them so they cannot turn. Use a single plate across the tool to represent the discs and insert the two tabs into the plate. Separate the gripper mounts from the disc mount so they could be moved independently. Just some thoughts, we desperately need to do something.
We received our new hydraulic oil today.
Poppet valves came in today.
