MP-16  The touch pad on the Milacron dryer wasn’t working. I called & requested a quote from Uni-Dyn.

 

MP-11  The core pull hydraulic hose came loose at the threads behind the quick-connect. It was never tightened. I cleaned up an oil pond around the press.It ran all night

     & nobody saw it leaking.

 

Dryer- D-7 on the mezzanine had a bad regin. contactor. Replaced

 

 

10/9/10

 

Mezzanine -  I played musical dryers all day to get one that worked.  I pulled D-6 off station 2  & took it to the shop. I replaced it with D-32 from floor. I looped out

      D-7 on station 4, to try & dry the beds. I also loop out D-6 in the shop to see if it would dry out. After several hours, D-7 came down to – 40, so I put it on station 2.

      D-32 wasn’t drying, so I looped it out.  D-32 & D-6 , after  6 to 8 hours, the dewpoint is finally starting to drop somewhat.

 

MP-3 Installed core plug on the steemer handle mold.

 

MP-1 Die height alarm- The position had to be moved manually before the auto die height function would work.It was too close to the end of the threads to lock in.

         After that, it was getting an eject alarm----- I found the knock-outs weren’t tied in. OK  now.

 

MP-3  Robot was alarming out – not seeing eject. forward.  Found the multi-eject. on the special option page was not turned on. OK now.

MP-23  I worked with Mark M. setting up the new eoat for the 2 cav. fan  mold 74022.

 

MP- 6  The mold wouldn’t close. I checked all the limit switches & found the operator side gate switch wasn’t making. I adjusted the jam-

      bar  flag.

 

MP- 1  It was getting a lube alarm. Josh reset the manual lube count to the maximum setting.

 

Two molds fell off the pallet while being transported.  We got them stood up & checked them out for damage. Mold 76003 cav.1 had a broke strap bolt.

       76003 cav. 2 had a pinched wire & cracked mounting brackets on the heater junction box. All is repaired except the box. We can fix it when they

       Finish the run on MP-6.

 

MP-17 Cleaned up oil .

 

MP- 6  Vacuumed out oil pan. Oil vac. is still behind the press.

10.5.10 Sean D-shift

Mp#5- Put the EOAT w/gate cutter back on and set values into the controller from the set-up sheet. Should be ready to start up.

Re-did some hydraulic core 2 fittings that were leaking and had been red tagged for repair. No further leaking.

Mp#3- Put the new EOAT w/gate cutter on and set it in as close as possible w/out running parts. I dry cycled it several times to check operation and get it timed close. May need to adjust the clamp position and ejectors, or the Y-axis up or down.

CAUTION!- The cutters are very SHARP. I bumped into them and punctured by hand!

Set the dryer temp correctly on the stainless cincinatti dryer on the mezzanine. It went down for wet material mid-shift, and after looking at it, it had been set to 32 F..?
Set it at 180 and it has been running fine.

Call if you have any questions. Be back Friday.

Josh-I submitted the rest of my PTO for the year, on your desk.

Thanks,

Sean
