 MP- 13 Eject. cylinder bolts broke. Replaced.

 

Dryer- 19  Turntable motor mounts broke & large drive gear stripped. No new gears in stock. Will order more gears Monday.

 

MP- 1  Mark finished pulling valves – we put the frame & covers back on. I should be ready to go .

 

MP- 25  Ejector not working -  Tech said he wiggled the plug on the eject. transducer & it broke off. I was able to straighten the pins enough to plug it back in &

         tape it up. The end that broke off was on transducer. We will have to order a new one to fix it properly.

 

We checked the oil storage building, & the drums had not been emptied, so we loaded four empty drums on a spill pallet & brought them inside.

2.26.10 nights D shift.

DR26- repaired the carousel position switch with new screws, no further problems with it.

Gr13- repaired hinge pin, made a new one.

Mp#3- screw was wrapped with plastic and it would not build consistent shot.(kept stopping). Jacked up the barrel heats to 550 and let it soak for about 45 minutes then ran a bunch of clear PC regrind purge and compound through it until it was shiny clean. Ran great the rest of the night.

Mp#2- was down so I checked the core 2 circuit, at first it would not work, then I moved the pressure line to the P1 circuit and it had 2000 psi. Checked it with the test rig that was in the shop and it worked fine. O.K. to run.
Also on 2, I cleaned up the oil that was in the floor there, I couldn't really tell where it was coming from, but it was under the mold area mostly and appeared to have dripped down... was there a leaky mold on A or B shift?

Started swapping orientation of the U-bolts on the disconnect signs, should be finished by this weekend.
Did we decide what to do with the 200volt conveyors in the shop? I can put them back in the trailer? Let me know.

I removed the adapter heater band from MP22 to put on 23 so it could start up. It's wired into the same terminals as the nozzle (R1 and S1)

MP20 broke all the ejector plates bolts and had to be replaced. Also the plate guide bar was badly bend. Darryl and I straightened it in the shop press enough to be useable.

MP21 stopped working while in production. Nothing would move but the sled. Also the clamp and screw position wouldn't read. We powered it down about 3 times and it allowed us to move the clamp so we could reset the mold thickness. Everything started working then. I've seen it do this once before a while back with the same problem and solution.

Mp#5- fhd current input #1 exceeds limits alarm.
Changed the fhd current index for extruder max out value to 12000 from 16000. Per Josh's advice. No further issues this shift.

Mp#16- Used the heater band from #1 to get the heaters going on it. Noticed the sprue-break limit switch adjustment ring was slid back a little more than all the way up. This may have contributed to some bleeding off that occurred. Put a note on the press for operators to remind the techs each hour to check for bleed off.

Found a 400 ton FN7000 1999 model online last night. It had a 575volt.

 Still working on stripping MP-1.  We drained the hydraulic suction lines, & water from the heat exchanger. Mark removed the conduit & recepticles.

    I  removed the rear frame to access the pump & motor.

 

All the waste oil drums were full , so I moved them to the oil storage building for pick up. Walter said it would probably be Thursday before they could pick

     It up.  If we need an empty drum before then, there are two in oil storage.

Mp#5- had lots of metal in the nozzle. Typical baseplates? Grind it till we find it?

Mp#2- Nozzle has been running away somewhat. I noticed first zone was 5o degrees hotter than the nozzle the way setpoints were set. I checked the mercury relay and noticed it was not plumb, straightened it back up and tightened the screw on it. Compared pg 96 values with those of #5 press and set the PID for then nozzle the same. Also increased the scan time from 5 secs to 2 secs. (#5 was set at 1 sec). Next move is to change out from mercury to solid state relay, but I think much of the heat is coming from the process.

Started pulling more stuff from #1. Also made progress on the Yushin 900. I need to change out some sensors and replace missing parts and it should be O.K. to go.

Call if there are any questions.

#16 heater bands

MP 16 had a bad blow-back which cover all the bands but three and destroyed all the insulation from the barrel shroud. I was able to reuse most of the bands but we are missing or out of stock one of the nozzle bands. It's a 240V (2.5" X 1.5"). I left the old one laying on the press. The nozzle thermocouple is wired in and the tip band is on the press also.
