Mp#14- Extruder problem. Intermittently stopping or turning too slow to recover shot size. They said that if they ran ABS material through the machine, it would not do this, only when the glass filled nylon was in it would it do this. I checked the extruder oil level and it appeared to be low. I added about a quart and a half to it.There was 1500 psi on the gage when it would mess up, when it was running fine it would operate around 700 psi. I separated the screw from the extruder and ran it at high speed for about 5 minutes to allow any crap in the lines or valves to flush out. I also checked to feel if the screw would turn by hand and it turned relatively easy. I reassembled and checked operation, it ran fine for 20 minutes then they shut it back down to run later.
Mp#10- repaired EOAT where some screws had come loose.
Mp#1- Replaced grease in lubricator tube.
