5.22.11 D-shift Sean

Mp#10-
Worked on the nut press for the connector. The nuts that were loaded into it were oily and I had to tear it down and clean everything. It may still need some minor adjusting where the track runs into the press on the right side.

Continued with PM's.
I have been cleaning the water filter screens out, they are very dirty right now.

Have a great day.

5.21.11 D-shift Sean

Mp#11- Replaced the A-axis sensors an wired them in, found where A-home had also been jumped in the cabinet. Put it back correctly and checked it out thoroughly, good to go now. Not that we use the A- axis much, but recently we could be using it to separate parts with two sides, etc.
The guide-rod under the clamp cylinder came off, just needs to be put back on when it goes down again.

Bill said one of the loading system pumps gave them trouble today, gasket got sucked out causing lost suction on press 18.

Mp#1- Extruder started messing up and tripping the servo alarm. Took the panels off and discovered the lube had run dry although the grease tube holder appeared to have grease, it was not compressed by the spring. I replaced it and also had to clean out the screw threads and regrease them by hand. Got everything working again and then shot every fitting full of grease I could find. O.K. to run.

Note: The process techs or whoever cleans out the hoppers needs to stop blowing dust and material all over #1. It had plastic worked into the ball screw threads so bad it looked like teflon tape. It has not been that long since I cleaned it out last time.

Replaced the nozzle band on #21 at the techs request.

Mp#2- Zone 3 quit heating. Checked heater bands, thermocuople, found that the wire to the coil on the mercury contactor was loose. Tightened it up and checked operation, no further problems.

Have a nice day.
