Mould-Tek Dryer on SB#1- The dyer has stopped in cycle due to the failed gear motor that burned out likely from the mechanical apparatus that ratchets the desiccant beds around. We need to order another gear motor for it. I found them in grainger for about $100. Also, the linkage in the ratchet apparatus needs to be checked out for corrct function, it was sloppy loose so I tightened it up and tried to manipulate it by hand but I was not certain about it. When the motor comes in we can check alignment and operation in further detail.
Mp#15- The mold setter evidently put too long of a screw in the platen holes that I recently tapped to 3/4". I asked Roger to get with him and decide what size screws we needed to accomodate setting molds correctly. Now it has a bolt stuck in it, they did not want to repair it, only set the new tool and run the press. So?
Give me a call if there are any questions.

Mp#1- Checked the fans on the cabinet, they are working. replaced cabinet filters and vacuumed inside the cabinet. Cleaned and inspected the machine and core pump.
There were no other alarms on my shift for anything on this press last night.
O.K. to run. I don't know how they continue to get so much liquid color all over the place??
Mp#2- The robot arm looked really bent like it had been crashed. Upon further inspection, found the bearings on the C-axis were mostly destroyed and one of the support arms looked bent really bad. The screws that held the C-axis assembly together were stripped out also. I put 5/16-18 keenserts in the screw holes and had Gil make some inside bushings from Delrin material and I replaced the outside bearings and shoulder bolts. I used permanent strength loctite on all of the screws and checked the operation. Nice and smooth now! There are probably some more C-axis that need repaired but for now we are out of those bearings from MRO (noted on the sign out sheet).
Have a nice day.
