6.24.10 D shift

Finished putting up the EOAT Boards.
Suggest that we put up some guidelines for the techs to see when hanging new tool arms etc., so it will remain organized.

Changed out the bottom core switch on #4 last night.

I think it had come out of adjustment, but the LED was not working.

When I installed the new switch, LED would not work on it either.

The input was reading on menu 41 though.

I checked the switch with my meter and it appears to be good so I will returtn it to MRO.

Installed new core standard plug on MP #3, also installed ejector back limit switch receptacle on junction box (in parallel) so it can be used either way.


Talked to everyone on the D shift and there are 3 guys who want to volunteer for any or all of the 3 work-days of shutdown. They are all mechanically inclined.

1 process tech- Johnny Stamps
1 moldsetter- Cameron Wilson
1 operator- Mike Sells

They understand that it is likely 8 hrs /dayshift ,if they can work. ?

I told them I would let them know by Monday or Tuesday so please get back to me by then.

Thanks

GR6- grinder, tore it completely apart and started reassembling it. I still have more plastic to clean out from the screen area (slow going), but it looks like I will only need to do some welding on the pan to complete the repair.

It was welded once before and had new bearings/seals installed last time. They appear to be holding up o.k. for now, so we won't need any new parts for it, unless just want to buy a new pan, etc?

Repalced the nozzle tip and T/C on #13.

Placed a note on the loader for 25. Someone had switch 1 on and 2 off, this was causing the loader to load constantly even though the sensor appeared to be working. I placed a label on it so they would know to use 2 with that sensor cable.

Left at 4:30a.m. puts me at around 40 hrs right now. Plan on working till 6a.m. on Thursday night.

Call if there are any questions.

Put up EOAT boards outside of molding office. Will continue the rest of it after I find some wood. I used what Facilities had in their locker area. I made a note on the "Tracker" spreadsheet about what wood I need but I may be able to scratch it up from around the pallet room or something.

Tightened up the filter clamps for the vacuum loader pumps. Looks like they had come out of adjustment.

I plan to tear down the peanut butter grinder Wednesday evening and should have an idea of what parts we will need to get it going again by Thursday morning.

Left at 12:30 a.m.- trying to keep hours down this week. I'll be in the next 2 nights and try to take off Fri-Sat-Sunday.

Call if there are any questions.

6.21.10 B shift

Installed new Core wiring standard on presses 6 and 7.

Replaced any switch covers/knobs on all the nissei presses that had stuff missing.

Replaced Nozzle heater band on MP#17 at Darryl's request.

Checked all the machine hoppers for air line leaks, made repairs, replaced some hoses.

Left at 3:30a.m. Be back Tuesday and Wednesday evening to work full shift.

Looks like the board must have worked on #1?

Mp#18- sight glass was broken and all of the extruder oil had leaked out. I press fit a peice of plexiglas into it and it is holding for now but need to replace it.

Mp#21- refilled extruder on that one also.

Put together a list of the machines we have completed the core standardization on, robot interface, liquid color plugs, etc. Going to try to combine it with everyone else's machine spreadsheets so we can all be on the same page.

The SB#3- pocket valve has a busted glass in it as well. I sent mark an email to order parts. It was already taped up, but may cause a leak if left unrepaired.

We had some trouble with #22 slider mold. They ran that conductive material on it and had difficulties removing it from the mold consistently.

If there is anything I can do to help prepare for shutdown,...or if any new info about shutdown surfaces, please keep me in the loop, Thanks.
