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.

MP16
Gary and Mark changed out a bad heater band on MP16, and also found that the zone 1 TC was not pushed in all the way and was heating 70 degrees above set point.

Monday March 1st
Ordered a new rotary encoder for MP25- it should be here tomorrow. Mark got the one on there to read somewhat, it may be good enough to limp through until the new one comes in. We were waiting on them to put a mold in there so that we could really test it out.
Also, three “new” 2003 model Jet Loaders came in for MP23-MP25. One of them has a busted up display and no filter, so I will need to order some parts for it. Collin, see if you can get two of them ready to run. I will try and get a good manual for them before I leave today.
Thanks

Mp#25-
It is down and needs an encoder for the ejectors. They had problems with it after changing the mold and it would not read, I worked on it and got it to read but it would never close the clamp and it would give an alarm like: "confirm setting for ejector bwd limit." I wanted to eliminate that it was n't the limit switch cicuit so I checked the door switch, and ejector back limit switch jumper and cable.(was fine). I spoke with Mark and gave him the Encoder information and model number.
Made EOAT for the Edge top cover on #11.
Got the signs turned around for the Machine Disconnect locations.
I am sending an email to Jerome asking for some time to get leaks fixed on press# 17.
Call if there are any questions.

" C " SHIFT
MP-16 Tech said barrel heats were running too high. I checked heaters, contacts, T.C. connections,& cables. Everything checked OK. The heat profile was 500 to
535. ( Nylon ) For some reason, we had to run the heats 50 to 55 degrees under & parts ran fine.
MP- 17 Mold 74005-01 broke a pin “ again “. I found the thin switch had been wired N/C. I changed it & Gill repaired the mold. It should be back in & running
Before the end of the shift.
MP-21 I vacuumed up oil & cleaned around press.
DR-23 I put this dryer on the mezz. In place of DR-19 . We need to order large bed gear for DR-19 Conair part # 183875
