Mp#2- had some problems with the core pull switch not reading. I went through it several times and it will read for awhile then quit again. We put it on timers til it comes out again.

MP#5- the base plate press needs a block to support the spring, and another spring detangler made up so they can run them both. Not urgent at this time.

MP#4- had to modify the gate cutter fixture to accomodate the change to the runner location on the tool. Works fine now.

MP#10- Nut Press. Cleaned out the vibratory bowl, tracks, and rails. Stoned the scratches out as good as I could. Noticed that the upper metal rails are magnetized and caused my screwdriver to become magnetized as well. I think an option to help prevent them from hanging up so bad would be to created new upper rails from a different material such as aluminum or plastic?

Helped the technicians and mold setter, set-up the mold and robot on #1,(at their request). They were not sure how to hook up the core hydraulic unit, etc. and we got the robot programmed in and going good. Also showed them how to save programs in all of the star robots again.

Mp#9- Robot is stopping intermittently above the conveyor, either going up or down. I slowed down the speeds and it seemed to reduce the frequency. I tried to watch it as much as I could but got called away. The vacuum switch is adjusted correctly so it is not that. I watched the brake modules and they were working correctly when it stopped once. I think it is probably a loose connection, but they did not want to shut it down completely for me to look at it.?

Went over the access receivers in the mezzanine. Several had loose screws and were loosing suction, etc. In general I looked around for anything else that might need repaired, etc.

Call if you have any questions.
