6.4.10 D-shift

Mp#5- stopped for the prefill alarm again. I couldn't find any information about what was done to it the other day to get it going. I tried calibrating the tonnage transducer again, but it did not work. Milacron thought there was problem with the FHD board for it to be continuing to have this problem. It is down now.

Jerome never replied to my request to schedule it down to do the screw-tip, so for now I will leave it.

I was able to extract the broken peices out of the screw for MP#13. I think it will be alright to use. Still need a new tip though.

Right now I plan on leaving at 2am Saturday night.

Will work all night Sunday.
Off on Monday.
Will work Tuesday through Friday nights.

Call if there are any questions.

P.S. Leave me some info this time on #5 so I can gain a better understanding of how to patch this thing for production. Thanks.

Sean.

" C " Shift

MP-13   Pulled the screw & screw tip. The rear seat wasn’t there. They continued to run it after it broke, so the threads in the screw were gone.

          Nissei didn’t have a 32mm screw in stock, so I called Chaseland  to make us one. They will fax the quote for the screw & tip Monday.

 

MP-14   Jason said some metal was showing up when he purged it out. Thought I was going to have to tear into that one when I finished 13.

           He got it running, so hopefully this one won’t jam up the check ring.

6.3.10 B shift

Mp#13-Redid the heater bands on the nozzle. Checked and found that screw tip was indeed broken. Mitch was running it but they were scrapping too many so they eventually shut it down.

Repaired the cannister gate cutter fixture. Tested it out and it works great.

The drill press in the rework area broke the quill return spring. I was able to heat and rebend it and it is working again for now but we need to order another one. I gave Mark a lead with the drill press info.

Cleaned up oil around #17 and #21. Put some new oil absorbent down.

I am sending Jerome an email to see if he will leave #5 down on Saturday nite to do the screw tip change and barrel measurements.

Call if there are any questions.

6.1.10 D-shift

Mp#5- stopped for "Prefill did not open in time" alarm.
I was able to open the clamp by changing the offset for clamp tonnage on menu 93 from 1799 to 2250,and menu 92/convec 921, from 2000 to 2350 to get the clamp tonnage to zero, but it will not run yet. It now will alarm again but will open if you clear the alarm.
I spoke with Clarence at Milacron service who thought it sounded like the prefill valve was bad. I looked in MRO for another directional valve like it but couldn't locate one. They are using press #3 or I would have tried some parts from it maybe. I wasn't so convinced it was the valve bad yet, and I want to talk with Josh about it first.

Mp#11- Potter asked me to check the cores when I came in, I checked that the machine was working fine, used our test rig to verify switches and hoses. They had the collar tool out working on it and when it was set back in they never worked, it appears to be jammed up internally.

Worked on DME boxes, replaced cooling fan, and installed #3 jumper in all of them so they will work with the new style cards.

Changed the cord plug on liquid colr pump for 13 also.

May want to look over the gate cutting fixture that is for the cannisters. it is in the tool room because it needs another braket made. It looks like it is time for an overhaul of that fixture, I am welcome to any ideas with it.

Be back in at 6pm.
