3.18.10 D shift

Mp#8- the robot had crashed when I came in and it had apparently only broke the center peice of the wrist assembly. We took the one from #6 off and replaced it. Had a little trouble getting it off and running smoothly, but it has been doing good.
Welded up the broken part and drilled and tapped it out, made some replacement bushing for it and put it back on #6 robot. Should be fine to run now.
Mp#23- Moldsetter was changing tool and said that after he opened it up it would not close back again. With ejectors back all the way it was reading 204.5 mm. It kept giving an Error 35- confirm ejector bwd position.
I checked that manually probing the valves (while actuating switches) would indeed work the clamp and the ejectors, so I knew it was not that. It behaved similar to the encoder problem on 25.
I tried swapping them out but it made no difference, so I put them back.
When I looked at the ejector bwck stop position there was an offset for the encoder sensor.
I added the difference that it was off by to the value that was already there and it started working. But we had to adjust the ranges some more to get it working like it should.
I cannot explain the problems root cause unless someone had changed the program by accident, but it is working now.
I also refilled #22 with oil because it was very low.

Week of March 15

Ronnie and I put pilot operated check valves for core on MP24

 

Ronnie, Sean, and I added core 2 and the new switch setup to MP22.  Gary, the manifold mount worked great.  Rewired the Eagle Top Cover mold with new switch system.

 

Investigated adding core 2 on MP23, talking to Nissei, needs another look.

3.14.10 Nights weekend D shift

Mp#23- Looked at Valve Block changeover situation.

Found all the fittings need to connect to hose out of the new valve block .

We will need a fitting to tie into Pressure port on Machine and Drain/Tank.

We may have something that will work, need to remove hard lines to verify.

Same goes for the lines going to Core A/B block where QD fittings attach.

I looked at how the existing valve block attaches and tried to determine the best possible retrofit.

I took measurements and completed a print for a bracket that will allow us to make a bolt on replacement.

There are notes on my desk and I discussed it with Mark also.

Yushin Picker , pulled another one from the trailor and parts needed to complete the build. Problem I ran into is that None of the pendants I have tried are working. I am going to try a few other pendant cables or sensor boards as time permits.

Did the PM on press#3- repaired the blown out grease fitting Bill Potter mentioned. Will keep an eye on it. We are trying to get back on top of these leaks and minor repairs.Keep me informed on any new policy changes or developments, thanks.

Call if there are any questions!

" C " Shift

   MP-23  Made a temporary separator for fans coming off belt.

 

  MP-23   Josh said we were going to put the new core valve on this press; they were running it this weekend. We probably need to get Jade in to

               look at it & see what fittings we need to tie it in.

 

  New top cover mold -  I tightened & double checked all the hydraulics; still need to check limit switches.

 

  Well, the new o-rings on MP-17 didn’t work ! 

 

  I worked on PM’s the last part of the shift.
