The robot on #6 has been dropping the parts into the grinder off/on all night. The cause is that the press will often mold baseplates with too much flash on the runner. This causes the gate cutters not to completely cut through the gate. This in turn causes the runner gripper to hold onto everything until it drops all of it into the grinder. FYI- ?

Replaced the regen heaters and the regen blower on DR#5. It is in the shop looped out until the cans have cycled enough to run on the floor.

Mostly had problems related to people not understanding how things operate correctly.

Did PM on 21, press and robot.

Also, the water bath operation for the Hokey handle was requiring them to hand dry each part with an air blow-off tool. I put up a cart with a wire frame basket and a fan blowing down on it so they could spread them out and most of the water could dry off before they got to the drying stage. We may want to look at that operation again for improvements?

I will probably come in sometime this weekend to discuss PM's with Mike. Likely on Sunday night early.

Call if you need something. have a good weekend.

The Square nut press on #10 has problems with sticking due to the unusually oily nuts. I cleaned the entire vibrator bowl out and wiped out the slide tracks, but, until the nuts are degreased better, they will continue to get stuck.

I asked Darryl to speak with Wayne McConnel about looking into this oil issue with the vendors possibly? I do not remember having this problem when this began, do you?

Darryl said they had always been that way and there was nothing he could do, it would cost Oreck more forthe supplier to degrease them.?

Anyway, there it is.

Mark and I arrived at a PM program draft proposal which should be implemented soon for our team.

Other than that I continued with PM's.

The Robot riser has been painted and should be dry.

Call if I can help in any way!
