 MP-20   Realigned  the sled.

 

 MP- 5  Lost robot power  -  The grinder jammed & tripped the breaker.

3.24.10 D shift

Robot 22- Constructed end of arm tooling and programmed robot for production. Used the new style gripper cylinders Josh ordered. They work great. Like the non-rotating feature they provide.

Had some problem with the robot going too fast into the mold area and stopping. We slowed it down to 80 from 100 and it did not stop anyore.

MP#19- Cores were not outputting a decent Pull signal when I checked it with no load. 24 on the set side, and only 6 volts on the pull side. I set it up to run straight off the controller outputs of Core 2 but ran each coil through a 1/2 amp fuse in case of a short.

I checked operation and verified that core switch signals were reading correctly, labelled everything , and posted a notice to "only use core 2" at the operator panel. It should be O.K. to run now.

I need a controller pendant that works to do anymore testing on the Yushin pickers. Give me a call if there are any questions.

" C " Shift

  MP- 2    A piece of metal lodged in between the tie bar bushing retainer & the tie bar; it was gauled up.  I stoned off the area & re greased all tie bars before

              they started it up.

 

  MP-24   Tech said they were having heater problems;  the problem was the nozzle heater band was getting pushed back when they ran the sled forward.

              I moved the htr. band clamp back so it wouldn’t  hit in the sprue bushing area, reset heats to s.o.p. sheet, & let um have it.

 

  Cleaned up oil on MP-11-17-& 21

 

  MP- 19   Mark mounted  the core directional  valve. I made up new hoses for the valve & the test cylinder. Core sets but doesn’t pull; still troubleshooting.
