This week 5/24/10

Ordered new Saskawa servo amp from Nissei for MP1.  Should be here 6/1/10.  Called Saskawa and requested they send us our unrepaired unit and regenerative pack.

Should be here 6/1/10.  Nissei is now set up to accept P.O.’s, net 30.

 

Set up welder ejectors on MP12 for new Edge fan housing ejector cylinders, used outputs 12 and 13, top two single valves.  Firing sequence is top ejectors step 5, bottom ejectors step 6.  When door open part is laying loose for operator to remove.

 

Changed out safety latches in hoist ring hooks in molding production area.  (both hoists)

 

Installed additional 480 outlet on MP18.  Two outlets share a 30A breaker for Thermalators.

 

Fabbed and installed extrusion frame to hang heater wire junction box on MP2.  Mount junction box to new frame.  Replace and label all heater wiring.

 

Install and adjust spare Robot EOAT for fan housing on MP8

 

Replaced  (4)  2” load system hose sections up in mezzanine area with what hose we had on hand.  More hose is coming.  Replaced 2.5” material hose on top of surge bins.  Installed elbows and partially hard piped some drops.  We are trying to eliminate all vacuum leaks.

 

Install sand paper to the bottom of rework fixture for orbiter disks and realign.

 

Worked on color pump signal for MP1.  Parts are here to steal a signal from the output of the servo drive to the motor.

5.27.10 D shift

Replaced wiring to purge sheilds on presses #6 and #12, tied them up neatly and repaired sheilds with new screws and fasteners, etc.

Checked all of the presses that were down for loose safety circuit switches and door latches, fixed whatever I found. Replaced screws as needed.
Checked the lube lines for broken fittings.

MP#8 -Finshed where Ronnie left off on oil pan clean-up.

I left a paper for Mark to see about ordering those vacuum drainage reservoirs for the 500 Cincinatti's clamp drain line. They might give us one as a sample since you order them 48 to a case.?

Mark and I went over the procedure for HMI programming for the AEC robot displays.

Call if there are any questions...have a great weekend. I will be working Tuesday-Friday or Saturday nights next week or until? I sent Darryl an email.

Molding Support Tracking Spreadsheet

Hey Guys,

I put together a To-Do spreadsheet today and put it on the server.  Attached is a shortcut. 

The spreadsheet has multiple page tabs at the bottom for Issues, Parts, Projects, and ShutDown Projects.

Some of the cells have drop down boxes for your convenience. 

Collin- Don’t let your feelings get hurt because I left your name out of the “Assigned To” drop down box.

 

Thanks

5.23.10 Weekend D-shift

Worked on conveyors repairing broken parts and generally looking them over to see if they need anything. There is still one that is going to need the Baldor drive repaired or replaced, but it is working for now.

#3 has a busted reservoir basin for the drain line that draws from the clamp seal. It is mounted under the automatic lube greaser. The words respiratory health care are printed on it so maybe it is something we can get cheaply at a hospital supply place?

#10- Had issues with the ultrasonic welder. The thermolator had been off and the positive stop was adjusted too far down. It was giving an error some of the time that would require you to press the reset button. It is working fine now.

Cal if there are any questions.

" C " Shift Weekend

 

MP-22  Broken glass on control panel—Ordered new one for Saturday delivery

 

MP-2  Tech had core problems--  checked & found sequence was set wrong.  Also DME hooked up wrong; heater was plugged in to zone 1 – TC was plugged in to

            Zone 2.  After correcting it, found it had a bad heater. Tooling to change it out.

 

MP-13  Tech said when sled was run in, the nozzle heat would drop out. When I went to check on it, Bill had started it up & it was OK. He said to let it run.

           ( For future reference )

 

I called Nissei about oiler fittings—They said they would send the right ones & for us to just keep the other fittings.

 

MP-22   The control panel glass & sheet came in---  Installed & checked out.  Also made a cover for it.  I need more hinges to make covers for the other ones.

 

MP-24  Installed a plug for the mold cores to the machine.

 

MP-17 Cleaned up oil jug overflow on clamp end.

 

MP-23  Weak vacuum on eoat suction cups--- tightened up all the fittings—OK

 

MP-23 Replaced the nozzle heater band.

 

MP-22  Could not change the screw back position.  I had to reset the injection scale. ( Press & hold the alarm reset while running the screw all the way back, then all the

           way forward, release reset button, then you can change the setting ).        

           

 

MP- 22  Getting a lot of color swirls in natural bag stiffener.  It wouldn’t purge out. I pulled the nozzle tip & the adapter. The adapter wasn’t seating, so I cleaned it out &  

             had tooling reface it. I reinstalled it & they were starting it up on “ D “ shift.
