Mp#7- The water manifolds to the feedthroat are rusted out and dripping water. They are running the press but when it goes down it will need re-done. Probably need to cut the manifold out and throw it away.
The sled cylinder is leaking pretty good on it also. Need to get a replacement seal kit.
Mp#17- Ronnie and I continued working on it this weekend. As Josh and I discussed setting the dip switch to enable the "shifted key boards" , I looked at presses #1 and #23. The boards are different from each other and a different dip switch has been left on each one.
Press#1 has dip 1 switch #3 on
Press#23 has dip 1 switch #2 on
With this information, I decided to wait and lets just ask Nissei.
Another issue came up when we decided to run it. Not so sure if it is a safety issue but needs to be pointed out.
In semi-override mode- after making parts cycle, with door open after a few seconds, due to mold spring tension against ejectors, the plate drifts backward and an alarm for "Ejector Axis Overload" occurs.
I was asked If there is a way to set ejectors to stop in the "back" position after 1 or more strokes so the pins stay back before the operator opens the door?
I couldn't see a way to do that within the process parameters so this is a question that nissei may have an answer to? Let me know if you find anything out please.
Mp#23- operator side skate on the moving platen is broken. When it is down again, I will try to remove it and measure it out and make another one...or we can just order one?
Mp#1- replaced the cover from the back of the injection unit... don't know how or why it came off?
Have a great day...give me a call if there is anything on your mind.
Sean
