4.8.11 D-shift Sean

Robot on #11- stopped a few times. The x-axis was giving an error. I slowed the speed value down from 11000 to 8500 and that seemed to help as it did not stop anymore through the night. Press#16- Cleared a nozzle bleed-off. Press#14- replaced a nozzle heaterband. Installed the E-stop switch lock out devices on presses#2,4,6,7,8,9,10,18,and 22. I am keeping up with them on the PM board. Bill Potter requested that Ronnie get Gil to replace the worn out section of the 14mm allen socket they use for changing molds. It is worn out. Transfered the heat treat item as directions prescribed, left it laying on the table beside the oven. Swept the shop floor once over. I will continue with Pm's tomorrow and whatever else is available for repairs pending, projects, etc. Call or email if there are any questions. Have a great day. Sean

Mp#26- Worked on the robot interface some more tonight. I have it where it will run through one cycle completely but then I get an alarm for the X18 input "cycle start interlock signal not received". It doesn't appear that the cycle start signal is being received from the robot. It may just be a set-up thing. I got with Mark and he is going to look at it later. Meanwhile... Mp#21- D shift left the press down at 6 o'clock Thursday morning because the cable for the fan mold had broken and tooling was going to make up something more permanent to pull out the stripper plate. C shift left the Nylon in the barrel not purged. It stayed in there through day shift and into night shift when Bill let me know around 1:00 or 2:00 a.m. that it would not pull material through it. The material had turned into degraded hard plastic that resembled hard clay. After attempting to remove the material conventionally, maintenance began pulling the screw out of the barrel to unwrap it. Call if you have any questions. Have a nice day. Sean

Mp#11 Robot- X-axis encoder had a broken coupling. Replaced it and found a loose wire possibly. O.K. and running. Mp#26- Continued wiring interface. Ran into a problem locating the x51. The print called for a CS- Control switch for the "automatic signal". We have the HMI which has a bit that sets or something. Anyway, there was not a X51 on the terminal strip. Mark and I are looking at other possibilities for narrowing that input down. Had a power surge at around midnite and reset the compressor. Have a good day. Sean

Battled with robot on mp10 most of the weekend it would stop in random positions I checked power supplies the 12volt supply seemed a little hot but was working. Gary also checked all the connections it ran for a few more hrs then started stopping frequently again. Gary was working on it Sunday and discovered a relay that may have been bad, hasn’t missed a lick since.

 

Mp26 drilled and tapped platen and installed robot, plumbed the air in and ran cables. I believe Sean is going to finish the interfacing process.

 

Dr18 in shop. I finished putting process heaters in and installed new blower/motor there is a board lying in the rack not sure where it goes or if it’s bad as I didn’t remove it. And that’s where we are on that.

 

Worked some on PMs.
