9.30.10 Sean
Got called into the assembly area to assist with helping the girl get the programming software working for the stepper drivers in the lab. ?
Mp#1- baseplate press stopped operating. Found sensor loose on the shuttle forward position.
Mp#21- while doing the PM I found the press had no control power. Looking further, it seems that the power from the disconnect on the bus was 100 volts short on the brown leg?
Mark and Gary are investigating that further now.
Have a portable hopper loader receptacle that is broken, may need to either order a replacement receptacle or rewire with something else on both ends.
Worked on PM's the rest of the time in between activities.
Call if there are any questions. have a great weekend.

9.29.10 Sean
I went through replacing hoses and checking with the test cylinder and still was not working. Put gages on and had pressure at valve, but not at cylinders.
They would work when i probed valve m,anually.
Then I checked voltages at coils and had none on the set side.
At this point neither core 1 or core 2 were working but I was focusing on #1 for now.
Then I noticed that the output menu 41 slot 6 would energize 2 outputs when trying core 1, but the card was only lighting up the led for pressure and not the set output.
I tried swapping the card and then both sets of cores started working.
I suspected that there was a problem with the output card that I had moved to slot 8 so I left it down until we could find another one.
Ronnie mentioned that they had worked on it today but was not real sure what was done to get it going again.
I would like to know what you found?
Also had the problem with the Chilled water supply being dirty, in which I discovered, after speaking with Ronnie colson, that there is no filtration on the Chilled water system.? I temporarily bypassed the pressure switches on the Thermolators pumping chilled water until the problem is resolved and we have taken the corrective actions.
Call if there are any questions. Enjoy your evening!
Sean.

MP-15 Oil leak. I am ordering a new pump seal for this one.
We were having problems with thermolators cutting off on MP-2 & 3. ( chiller supply ) The flow & temp looked OK. In tooling the EDM was over heating.
they bled the line & got quite a bit of air & rusty water out. After that, the thermolators straightened out. There must have been an air lock.
Ronnie Coleson was notified.
I installed the new overload on MP-5. They will hang the base plate back in.
If the hydraulic oil doesn’t come in today, I’ll call them in the morning.

Good morning Gents,
Typical night in molding no major problems. Mp2 has a issue with the core switches, the i/o page shows they are set when they are and pulled when they are but when put in cycle clamp moves about 6in. then stops and reads core 1 not pulled when it is. We ran it on timers with no problems.
Repaired 3 more trollies
Replaced prox switch on fixture on mp10
Replaced blown nozzle heat fuse on mp2
Have a great day

MP5 keeps tripping overload on pump. A complete contactor and overload should be here Wed. UPS Red.
They moved the baseplate mold to #1.
Lexan sheets came in today. Been trying to replace broken panels in trolleys as I can, if you pick up where I left off, measure each one individually as there are slight differences between them.

9.26.10 D-shift Weekend
Worked on PM's Sunday. Turned in some work orders for some of the issues we had.
There was a problem with #4 that had to do with frayed core wire and a blown fuse.
We cleaned out all the water strainers on all the presses this morning.
I have noticed that the moisture in the air system seems to have been resolved.
I will be coming in on Wednesday at 10a.m. for Forklift refresher training. Afterwards I will see whats going on with our PM program. call if there are any questions.
Have a great day!

One of the bucket tumblers quit working. I just had to tighten the belt. I asked Elaine to order two more motors for the two spare tumblers. I put them
in the trailer for now.
MP-7 The bolts vibrated loose & the deflector fell in the grinder. I cleaned it out & restarted it. It still needs a new deflector.
MP-2 I hooked up the cores to the eject circuit for them. Also replaced a broken core switch on the stationary side. One of the mold heater plug pins was pushed in
& not making contact; repaired.
MP-6 The clamp wouldn’t close. I tried probing the valve, no luck. When I opened the cabinet to check the input & restarted the pump, it started working.
I worked on stripping & scrapping equipment in shop. I cleaned out the cabinet in the bone yard.
I finished up on the grinder that Sean put back together. We put it back in service Sunday.
Cleaned up oil on 17 & 21.
I put the gaylord of spare parts in the trailer.
