11.28.11- D-shift Sean

Mp#5- Finished re-installing the core on Mold#77041-top cover tool. When I checked it out, the core switch on the "pull" side was not working. Had to cut it out to remove the bad switch and installed a new one from mro. Checked operation for leaks and performance, turned it over to techs at 8pm, who started it a little after 12:30.

Mp#12- The core box on the press had not been standardized yet and they were in a hurry to start it up, rigged it up with an adapter to accomodate the ejector back limit switch, etc.
Need to complete the install correctly when the press is available.

Mp#7- Collar mold cores jammed up again, tested the hydraulics with the test cylinder and it worked fine. Advised that they pull the tool at 2am.

Continued working out the mechanics and design ideas for the fan press poke yoke project. Building parts and gathering up components still. Looked again for the plc that was there the other day, could not locate it, found another in the cabinet that I can make work.
Quick thought:
Mark had mentioned once that OSHA did not recognize the use of plc logic for anti-tie down safety switches, however, they were using them this way on those test fixtures that we tore down the other day. Need to know if I can do that or not with this project, if not: will need a safety relay.
