MP-24  Installed a relay to give a gripper signal when the arm is in the up position. MP-22 & 25 already have a relay.

 

I worked with Tony Cannon & Doug Mason setting up the Branson welder for the vacuum inlet assembly.

 

We got in eight different sizes of rubber plugs to use on hydraulic lines & valves. I put them under the hose crimp bench.

 

MP-10 is to stay down all weekend. The nut press fixture has to be changed to work with the engineering change made to the part. Mark & Gary will

          finish it on Monday.

MP#21- I adjusted on it for a long time last night and finally got it to where it responds and is shooting good parts. It is still not responding like it should be though. The extruder is working at a functional level but could be better, it is a little slower than it ought to be. Josh mentioned that we may try to get a calibration procedure for it on Thursday.
I ran it on the robot for 2 hours and then shut it down because Marty did not have an operator for it. I posted a note on the door to let techs know that it has had the pump rebuilt and system pressures may be different than before.

Robot on #25 needs a new runner gripper sensor. We could not use it because it is reading "on" all the time and alarming LS4S alarm the robot when you put it into auto. I checked it out and found the wires had pulled back into the conduit and may have shorted. I tried to leave them disconnected but the alarm still would not clear. So I borrowed the sensor from #24 and it did not work either. May have a problem with the board. I left it disconnected until we get a new sensor. The wiring will need to be double checked before installing the sensor.
The robot works, just not the sprue grip arm because of the sensor alarm LS4S.

Have a great day,

MP#2-Mounted R2 topcover belt door fixture onto the other fixtures table so they could use it. Evidently we took the table to use on another project. I drilled the table so either fixture can be swapped out with the same table. When they are not using it, we can make something more permanent.

Mp#21- Hooked up the ASL filtration cart and let it run on it for a month. Try to watch that the pressure gage does not go over 35. If it does, we will need to backflush it. Procedure for that is on the cart. We can move it around every month to each of the presses we think may need it.

Continued with PM's.

Have a great day.

MP-21  Got info from Toshiba tech. to check pump pressure – Press is ready to run.

 

MP-4  Replaced two hydraulic hoses & adjusted the angle of the fittings to keep the hoses off the deck.

 

Wiring cores & eject. switches on new molds.

MP-12  They had some more trouble with the injection encoder rail gear. I found a new gear in the L-1 cabinet. Mark installed it. I put some grease on the extruder

            follower  arm – it was squealin !  I’ll order some more of the rail gears.

 

MP-24  I hooked up an eject. back safety switch.

 

MP-21  I drained the oil tank & pulled the tank inlet strainers. They were both 90% clogged. I cleaned them in the parts washer & reinstalled. Josh wants to run

            the static filter on it for awhile; because there’s still some sediment in the bottom. I cleaned out what I could reach with the oil vac.

 

MP-25  Cinn. Milacron dryer kept going into high temp. alarm. First I thought it was the mercury contactor sticking. It turned out to be a loose connection – the

            process temp. probe at the board.

Mp#21- Filled it all the way up with oil. Ronnie and I found the Suction line gage missing and reinstalled it on the pump. It would not load up with any pressure. I noticed the suction gage was not indicating any suction so I removed the gage and tried to prime oil into the pump, then replaced the gage and tried it again. Still not building any pressure. The nozzle will move and the ejectors did briefly but then quit. I tried to probe several valves (M1,M7, 102,104,gatevalve, etc.) in an effort to possibly "unstick" anything but no luck. Left it down to let air settle out of it and because I am afraid it may be damaged from running with the gage missing.





Mp#22- IML was running and the "low Label" light was staying on. He thought it was a sensor but it just turned out to be low of labels.





Mp#8- The operator they call "The Crow" fell asleep on the fans and crashed the robot. I have a picture for you.





















Continued with PM's.

Have a good day.

MP-21  Mark & I installed the pump. I started it up & it ran quiet, but after a short time, it started heating up & it is still pumping air into the tank. I believe the

           tank inlet screen is stopped up & the only way to get to it is to drain the tank. I locked it out again & we can get back on it Monday.

 

I helped Henry get the new molds off the truck. The three smaller molds had fallen off the pallet – no damage – just a pain to get to.

Mp12 the strip gear on injection position sensor broke not sure how. Its just glued on so I cleaned reglued so if you have issues with screw position check this first.
