1.20.10 night shift

#23- finished putting screw back together. Set a mold in and made sure nozzle was aligned correctly. The machine had not used cores before so I put quick connects on. Also wired the core switches up on the mold and put QD fittings on it as well. When I tried it out, cores would not work. I remembered Collin saying that he had found a problem on the circuit board inside the valve on 22, so I swapped out boards to eliminate that. Still did not work. I swapped out hydraulic hoses. Still not working.

I was at the point of replacing the quick connect fittings I put on the machine but there are none left in MRO. You can manually probe the valves while someone energizes switch and the cores will move, they just do not seem like they are getting an output signal. I tried to bypass the switches and run it on timers but it still will not work.

I went through it all with Mark and Ronnie, we got to a point where we had isolated a problem with the valve.

1.18.10 nights shift D

Mp#15-had a bleedoff back about 3 bands. We cleaned it off and patched it up without replacing anything but the nozzle clamp. O.K. to run.



Mp#7- put a material loading sensor on the hopper sight glass at the request of Process Techs. Had to get one from the Turck vending machine. Used the number 00344.



Mp#23- put another 120vac receptacle at the rear of the machine per Mitch's work order request.



Robot on press # 2 - Did a pm on it. Mounted some brackets to hold the HMI touch panel securely to pendant. I still need to do one on #11 when it is down.

Robot on press#25- Also did pm. Cleaned, greased, inspected, tightened screws etc.



The single cavity topcover mold is leaking on press#11. It was pulled out with a workorder last time it ran, instead of moving it to a repair location, someone just put it back in the racks. Bill mentioned to me that it was back there with the work order, but by then it was already scheduled to go back in on our shift and run again. I asked Marty if he wanted to shut it down to fix the leak, he said no.



I did notice that many of the ISO work instructions on the Online Document website have not been revised since 2002, etc. Including the molding maintenance work order request instruction. We were looking for the procedure for mixing up the ink for the pad printer. It was not there or at the support site.

Need to order some cabinet fans like we use in the robot control panels and DME boxes. Need both 240 and 12oVAC. 3 are out in the robot panels, and I think one of the Cincinatti's has one out also. Then the DME's run on 240vac and we do not have any of those either.

Call if you need me to come in or have any questions.

" C " Shift

    Tightened up the pump drain plug on the vib. welder; It had a slow leak. I’ll check it again after they run it awhile.

 

 MP-21   Vacuumed oil under sled & on rear deck.

 

Installed eject. back switch on new mold # 74017.

 

Installed conveyor tray behind MP-25.  They can try it out---- see if they need to modify it.

 

Loader # 7 on mezzanine wasn’t pulling from Gaylord. I found  two other loaders leaking at the vacuum ports. I changed out the seals

1.17.10 night shift D

MP#10 - robot was stopping above conveyor after part delivery. Ronnie and I looked at it briefly,didn't see anything obvious. We adjusted tracking on Z-belt. I did a PM on it after they shut it down an hour later and dry cycled it for about 20 minutes, it did not stop anymore. Will keep an eye on it.

MP#2- Robot had no apparent alarms but would not give permission to close to machine, turned out that someone had left the robot in "DRY CYCLE" mode.

MP#7- looked at the baseplate tool, had open thermocouples, we checked boxes, cables, etc, turned out to be open TC's in the mold. They are running it in Manual.

I vacuumed out all the robot control cabinets and found 3 cooling fans bad.
I could not locate any in MRO so we need to order those. Also need a few other items to complete some workorders so I will leave Mark a list Monday morning.

I mounted a tray on the crane column behind the Welder on #12 to store nest screws so they will be 5-S compliant.

Worked on PM's and misc. oddball requests from the Moldsetter, process techs and team leader throughout the night. Call if there are any questions.
