5.23.12 Sean Kearns

The Dryer on MP#8 keeps stopping for no apparent reason and will not restart on its own. Mitch just told me about it at 6 this morning so I passed it on to Ronnie. Mitch asked if there is a way to add an audible alarm to alert when it shuts down.?

Mp#26- I started working on a gate trimming fixture for that wheel # . I would like to have a lawn mower wheel/tire to use on it but I am open to suggestions. I will try to have it further along tomorrow to get some feedback from Josh about it.

The Mold setter asked me about obtaining (10) more mold pallets for the tool storage area to complete his organizing project. I told him I would pass this information up to you Josh.

On press #24- they are running the end cards for the brushrolls #77020-02/77021-02 where they need to use the adhesive sandpaper discs to clean up the gate area on the parts. They have no more #200 grit sandpaper so I mentioned that I would pass this up also. It comes on a roll 6" diameter.

Have a nice day!

Mp#15- Completed the ANSI audits, all machine have been inspected at this point. Let me know when you want to start proceeding with circuit changes, etc. I will watch for the presses to be down.

Mp#7- They are running the R2 baseplate subassembly there today and the feedback I am getting relates to a desire to have the light curtains installed and the press set up to run similar to the baseplate press on #6.
The job runs at 76 seconds now, which is kind of long, but the operators have to keep their fingers in the anti-tie down switches for the duration of the cycle (safety issue) which takes approx 7 seconds with each part  x 2 cavs =14 seconds each cycle.
This may be as fast as they can run it under the circumstances? Not sure.
It may be a legitimate claim to ask for this modification, I just don't know if it justifies the expense?
I wanted to pass this on to you Josh and see what you think.

Shift change again. The 5 weeks trial is over after this week. Mike and I texted last night and he is ready to come back after memorial day on  Wednesday.

He is taking off Friday and Tuesday and will return to 3rd's after that. Tonight the dryers were not set on timers and we had wet material on a few hoppers. Evidently he was out last Friday and no one set the timers so this needs to be looked at this week again. I can set them if no one else is going to. Let me know.

I will go back on 2nd's Tuesday evening as scheduled.

Have a nice day!
