6.10.10 D-shift

D shift had 2 process techs out wed/thurs so today I did spend some time assisting with set-ups etc.

MP#9- built and end of arm tool for mold # 78165 and roughed in the parameters.

Made a tool for them to insert the magnet in the fans they were welding at #12.

As it stands, I told Darryl that I will not be working Saturday and Sunday, but if he needed me to come in and fix anything that was down, all he had to do was give me a call. My number is posted in the molding office.

" C " Shift

MP-3   Left side gate cutters not cutting good; I swapped out cutting tables. I changed out the left side cutters. It’s always harder to cut the polycarb parts.

          We need to order spare cutters.

 

MP-13   I installed the new screw tip . They hung a mold in it.

Mp#4- changed the thernocouple, reused the heaterband. Darryl requested that I remove the purge that was stuck to the wires.

Mp#15- helped Jeff set-up the Sprue picker. It needed some maintenance and also needs some work on a screw that is stripped out where they adjust the in/out from the mold<>.

MP#21- hot stamp had a blown fuse. Replaced it and it began working fine. Replaced a gage on one of the air regulators, cleaned, lubed and tightened things up on it.

Worked on liquid color pumps that were in the shop. Cleaned, repaired and generally just fixed what needed fixing on them. Still have a few more that may need parts.

Call if there are any questions.

MP19 Nozzle Touch Alarm

If anyone gets an alarm on MP19 that says “Nozzle Touch PS2 Unconfirmed”, here is the fix-

Go to clamp factory screen by hitting “Shift” and then the “Clamp” screen button.  Go to the page titled “Mold Adjust 1”.  At the top there is a setting named “HPCV”.  Not really sure what it is or what it does, but it controls what the pump loads to for nozzle contact force.  I found it set at 60% the other day when we were getting the alarm and set it to 99% and this fixed the problem.  Evidently they had the problem again over the weekend and I’m assuming the value got set back to 60% when someone reloaded a new process set up.  We changed again from 60% to 99% and this fixed the problem.

Call with any further questions.

6.6.10 D shift

Finished repairing the connector nest for vibratory welder. Replaced broken/missing screws loctited them. Cleaned and inspected the tool. It looks like the adjustment method they have been using requires a hammer sometimes.

Lubed all of the tiebars and refilled reservoirs and greased the machines.

We need to get a repair kit for the Milacron machines complete with 3/16" nylon tubing and the ferule type fitting they use.

MP#15- has a broken lube line that needs repaired when it is down.

MP#17- has an extruder hose that is leaking. I tagged and measured it. Made a new hose up and left a note so we can change it when it is between molds.

I left a note on the Fastenal board to restock the "assorted springs" drawer. I used a spring last night to repair one of the gasket locating tools (used on the intake pivots) but didn't really have what was needed.

I left the old clamp tonnage transducer with Mark so we can possibly stock a spare.

Replaced the cabinet fan on robot #3 panel.

Basically fixed little things most of the night and helped the techs because this shift has no tooling person. We repaired the tool on press#22 that broke out all 4 keen-serts. There were only 2 left in the box so we patched it up to get it running.

Let me know how you want to do that blocked nozzle test. I am supposing you want to do a dynamic check ring reliability test for bad screw tips?


I plan to take off this evening but will work on till Friday night. Call tomorrow if there are any questions.

" C " Shift Weekend

MP-22  Tech said cores not working --  found eject. back switch wasn’t made – they forgot to tie in the knock-outs.

 

MP-2   Mid zone heat kept dropping out;  contactor was bad – replaced

 

MP-22   Checked torque on the screw gun for the valve body. Max torque on the SOP is 14 ;  It is running 12.5 – 12.75.  They had a few

            parts  crack . I think the parts may have just been too hot.

 

MP-5  One of the wheel mounting brackets on the ( small parts ) shelf unit broke off.  I took it to the shop & brazed it back on.

 

MP-5  Getting  the prefill alarm again. Changed settings & offset.  It ran until right before shift change & alarmed out FHD exceeded limit.

          I left it with Sean.

 

Cleaned up oil & changed pads on MP-17 & 21.

 

MP-11  The core pin broke & when they pulled the core cylinder off, they pulled the wires loose. Repaired.

 

 PM’s  on press 2 , 3 , & 4.   MP-3  needs new fan in robot cabinet.

6.5.10 D shift

Mp #5- the tonnage readout was stuck at 500, even after powering it down, etc.
I changed the tonnage transducer and when I powered it back up, it was a teading negative value (-28). I calibrated the offset and changed the convecs 921, 812, and 813 so they were 150 apart, etc. It worked.
Started it up and ran production at 7:10pm. Has ran good all night so far.

Changed out the screw gun on #22 because it would not stop running. I advised the process techs to monitor the screw bosses so they would notice if they were breaking out. They are doing fine so far.

Assisted Lynn Smith in changing out the welder nest and setting it up. I took the connector tool back into the shop, I have to make some repairs to it where it has been broken.

Cleaned up out on the floor and in the shop.
