12.16.11 D-shift Sean

Mp#7- The ejector bar studs broke and he could not get the plate to retract completely, checked it out and found the nut with the broken stud peice was lodged under the plate. Freed it and got it working again. Also noticed the ejector back switch was broken. I replaced it and checked operation.

Pump#5 Loading system- The surge bins #1 and #2 ran out of material. The pneumatic loading valve malfunctioned, solenoid valve bad. I replaced the whole thing so they could restore operations as quickly as possible. Need to re-order the solenoid valve and a spare.

Mp#26- The ejector were not working correctly. Found that the ejector plate of the mold was jammed up. Put some chain lube spray grease on it and adjusted them correctly. Restarted for production.

Continued with Pm's on press #24.

Also began changing the fan housing press to sensors and finishing it up. The Turck sensor vending machine screwed up when delivering the cables. It will still work on other items though. Maybe Elaine or vendor can get it straightened out soon.

Have a nice day.

12.12.11 D-shift Sean

Mp#21- Pm'd press and robot. Replaced the sled forward position limit switch. Mark had mentioned it was screwed up awhile back. There was a direct replacement for it in MRO in the aisle with assembly's prox switches etc.






Order?**The star robot pendant "control" pushbutton switch on the side has a rubber cover that is now worn out or worn off. May try to see if Star sells the rubber grommet type cover by itself and get a few of them?
