   MP-4  Robot not holding position & conveyor not working.  They had the “ Z” at home position set the same as “ Z “ at part drop. I changed

             The part drop setting & it homed .  The conveyor  relay  had no  incoming power---- someone had it unplugged..

 

   Hopper # 13 @ mezzanine wasn’t unloading material to MP – 5 .  The supply air to the valve wasn’t plugged in all the way  & the material line got

                  stopped up. I fixed the air line & opened the material line to clean it out.

 

  MP-16  New mold had two eject. back switches – I wired them in series & put a plug on it .

 

  MP-10  Robot stopping occasionally. Haven’t found the problem yet.

 

  MP-24  Mark worked on the cores on a new mold; both core set & pull lights were on at the same time. He found the  polarity  wrong at the plug wiring.

Worked some on the Eagle sole plate press controls, the main panel is wired and installed.  Gary mounted the cabinet and is working on some sensor mounts.  Ordered the solenoid valve block for this station.

 

MP20, process tech had problem with new DME cables not fitting or clamping up right.  They were six pin instead of five pin.  We have both on the floor, but we only stock the six pin.

 

MP13 shut down, ends up the front door switch was not made.  Use code 100 to find out.

 

Helped Elaine establish a healthy list of Robot EOA components and Josh ordered today from EMI.

 

Talked to EMI guys today about a quote for (3) Decline Conveyors for new machines.

 

Ordered two new hydraulic cylinders for one of the new molds.  Ortman brand.  Should be here in 4 days.  They are prepped for Go switches.

 

Ordered more Omron micro switches for new molds.

 

Ordered (2) station junction boxes from Motion.  Daman brand.  Hydraulic, 3/8” Ports, 3000psi working pressure.  Should be here 1/15/10.

 

Worked on MP14 sub station.  Replaced LH pneumatic PB on cord hook snap.

 

Loaded the truck headed for Zag with the Wittman Robot and Air Skates.

Took apart and tapped three hydraulic cylinders on the new molds for 3/8" pipe thread. Only had time to put fittings on one cylinder.

Made a bracket for MP22 conveyer to keep hoses off it.

Worked on dual ratio valve on MP23. It wasn't loading regrind.

Wired a new heater and thermocouple on a mold that came in the shop.

Thermolater T31 tripped the motor overloads. The motor is bad and will not start. I got a new one from MRO and a pump seal kit but didn't have time to replace them. I'll try to get to it tonight.

Very uneventful tonight. Worked on PM's throughout the night.

Replaced ejector hose and fittings on MP#17, that were leaking. Went over fittings checking for tightness and redid o-rings as needed. Made a hose for it. ..
Question:
Do we need to put some kind of form at the hose crimper to keep track of what gets used? Who keeps things topped off there?

I did get to look at the support site and viewed some of the new equipment coming in. Looks like it is in great shape.

Let me know how I can help with the upcoming install/replacement of
machines and robots.

I will be working this weekend, be back Friday evening. Call if there are any questions.

#23- worked on the regrind / virgin loader blender controller. It was not functioning. Found a bad valve, when I looked at the other controller, it had a different valve, so I changed out the whole controller, and it worked fine.

#5- The robot conveyor belt tripped out, after looking at it, the NO contact was bad. I put a jumper across it since the tether had already been removed anyway. Working fine now.

Mark and I looked at the robot on #8, for future reference and to eliminate process tech changes, the Timers set-up is as follows:


Delay Before Sprue Grip: 2.50 sec (Grabbers)
Delay Before Part Grip : 2.00 sec (Kickers)
Delay After Sprue/Part Grip : 0.50

Continued working on PM's, I mentioned to Bill that he might see if Jerome would schedule the fans to run in 22 or 23 so we can have a repair window for the leaks on #21. Haven't heard anything back yet.

Also: I looked at the new mold with cores,, unless we change the cylinders we are going to need to install some mechanical switches to read set/pull with it. Maybe attach locking collars or position flags with microswitches??
They are not done tearing it down for cleaning but likely they will want to sample it soon and we will need to decide how to proceed.

Call if there are any questions...Sean

#15-Nozzle was leaking around threads. Tried to tighten it but it still leaked so I changed  it with one I'd faced off.

#8-Robot missing parts. I started the machine back up and fixed the robot and ran it for an hour to verify it was ok.

#9-Robot missing parts. Two of the suction cup level compensators were worn out and allowing the cups to moved around freely. Replaced them with new ones.

#15-Water leak on feedthroat fitting. The  cooling hose had been cut down to short and was catching on the sled so I added some to it and replaced the fitting.

  MP-16   Mold wouldn’t close.   Eject back limit switch had loose connection @ teminal strip.

 

 MP-8   EOAT  was dropping parts.  Mark & I  made some adjustments on grippers & “ Z “ axis.

 

 MP- 4. 11, 12, 14, 18, 19, & 24 are low on oil .  I’ll get them between today & the weekend while doing PM’s.

 

 MP-20  Sight glass may be plugged ;  not showing any oil.  I’ll  check it through the top tank hatch & fill , if needed.

 

       We need to get with tooling to see if any of the new molds need fittings, switches, etc.
