3.8.11 Sean Kearns D- shift
Finished Packing up the pump and weighed it @139lbs.
We had a power failure at 11:02 pm last night. It tripped the #3 panel which fed the North Bus. I was able to reset it and the air compressor and we were going agin shortly after 12:00.
Mp#9- The Z-at part drop maximum limit needs changed in the HMI's. It would not hurt to set them all that way, or make the value accessible from the touch screen. Maybe add it to the speed control page.
Continued with PM.'s!
Call if there are any questions.

Mp#23- Potter asked me to look at the mold heater circuit. It checked out alright without taking the tool apart. It just appears they are not getting good heat transfer inside the mold. Heaters checked out and T/C's did too. They will need to pull it ouit and take it apart.
Mp#18- Had trouble with zone #1. Could not get the controller to output a signal. Found a relay with a bad set of contacts, moved wires over to a spare set on the same relay. Never could get the controller to send a signal. Changed it out 4 times and finally got one of the very older analog types to work correctly. I only had used stuff to try out, so we may need to order a new one to put on the shelf...when the money returns?
Mp#15- Did not get very far with it. I pulled the M1 valve of and cleaned it, it was very clean and solenoids ohmed out good. Reset mold thickness, etc. and bled out the air, problem remains.
Will proceed some more tonight.

MP-21 Worked with Josh & Mark trying to figure out why it’s generating so much air in the oil. Mark is checking into having the pump rebuilt. It’s down
until we get a response on the pump.
MP-15 I replaced the C-7 check valve, still no go. The Toshiba tech. said we’re in the right area; sounds like something isn’t shifting fast enough. I did all
the system pressure tests they told me to try, & it checks out OK, so at least we know it isn’t one of the pumps. The next step is to start pulling the
clamp valve stack apart & check for sticking spools etc.
B shift 3-4-11 thru 3-6-11
Worked on PHs
Cleaned a pithead from nozzle on mp16 and rewired.
Vacuumed excess oil from presses
Mp12 broke ejector cylinder bolts. Repaired
Replaced a broke belt on grinder behind mp10. Nobody knows how or when this happened.
Have a Great Week

Work with F1 Fan Housings and new tester. Fan Housings that had a .7 weld time proved to be leakers and could be destroyed at about 5psi. Housings with .9 weld time had a small leak but passed the tester and were able to be destroyed at 10psi. Housings with 1.0 – 1.1 seemed to be sealed / welded very well with destruction around 12-14 psi. All new housing halves passed the drop tester at 30inches.
Wired mold #52926 (Steemer Tank) for cores. Swapped hydraulic fittings on the mold and connected to core 1 on MP2. Adjusted switches and cores worked on A1 and B1.
Talked to Josh about MP21, he showed me the valve to increase speed of functions, worked with Rick to get fan runners to drop. Repaired pull cable for plates on mold.
Set up ban saw in molding shop for techs.
Helped
Worked on MP11 Robot, Robot would grab parts and stop above mold, say in unsafe position. Ended up being no time in cycle start timer on mold machine.
Ronnie and I will try to calibrate MP11 and MP21 tomorrow.

Hello All,
In the past we have used the Ejectors to control the stripper plate on this mold because when not using the robot multiple strokes were needed to clear the part. It is a lot safer to use the Core circuit because when using the Ejectors the set-up parameters were just “tricking” the machine and everything was based on time with no part removal verification. When using the Core circuit in combination with the robot, part removal is verified.
Just remember that on the “Special Options” menu of the robot that “Cores Logic” needs to be turned ON.
Any questions regarding this can be directed to me or any member of the Molding Maintenance Department.
Thanks

2.26.11 (Weekend of) Sean
Mp#23- changed nozzle band.
Mp#3- replaced 1-1/4" hose on the op side clamp assist cylinder that was leaking bad. Cleaned up the oil.
Mp#1- installed air pressure regulator on the EOAT so it would not damage fans. They had turned down the regulator on the robot to where the system pressure switch would no longer make, faulting out the robot.
Mp#21-Sole Plate wheel press, replaced one of the two hand air switches.
Mp#2- Replaced the wire on the ejector back switch of steemer tank mold. It got smashed.
Mp#24- Wheel/Tire Press Tool. Made a hand tool so they could rework the cold tires that were molded. This item needs to be revisited by one of our manufacturing engineers involved with it. The normal automatic operation is damaging the parts when used.
Mp#10- The nut press is still having problems when the nuts are not cleaned, the track will not load up correctly. Wev put some in a 5 gallon bucket with degreaser and tumbled it for an hour. Then cleaned them off with rags and air. No one can give me an answer as to what is the procedure with this situation. Who makes the decision? Communication has been poor lately on some of these problems that keep lingering around.? Thanks for any support you can get.
Continued with PM's and other support functions.
Have a very nice day.

MP_7 Alarm 5111 – The clamp close control switch got twisted around & the neutral position was actually the close position.
DR-32 Alarm 11 - Index time too long. The index limit switch was bad.
MP-6 The conveyor wasn’t indexing. The relay in the robot cabinet burned out. Replaced
MP-21 The zone 2 heat dropped out. The contactor coil was weak. Replaced
Mark & I worked on the “Randy Russell” hot stamp project. He’s satisfied, ( For Now )

Mp#24- Butterfly bolts broke, replaced them and cleaned and lubricated the guide bar. There is a place for a guide bar on the opposite side, but it is not there. Not sure if it was ever there, but , I will try to make one or at least get some measure ments from it when it is down again.
Also wired up the cores and checked the sequence and operation for them. The mold setters are always asking about which sequence is what on the Nissei's so I provided them a cheat sheet and tied it to their cart.
Also, need some O-rings to continue beating down these leaks. I would just get a few kits of metric and a few kits of square cut. Or whatever? Thanks.
Also, out of the Orange degreaser from Prochem. It is a very good product, cuts grease and liquid color very well. Need to re-order or try to get it as a stock item, possibly? Thanks.
Cleaned up in the shop. I will try to 5-S more this weekend.
Continued with PM's.
Have a great day!

No immediate maintenance issues going on right now.
Mp#8- Worked on Machine and Robot PM. Painted some parts of the press.
Made a fixture for Bill Potter to rework the C-handle overmolds. Drill press was tore up when I went to set it up. Had to replace the switch on it. Everything good to go now.

Mp#16- replaced o-rings on the sled valve. Checked operation.
Mp#14- pulled the ejector stack off and replaced the o-rings. Checked operation. Looks like I will have to do it again, it is still seeping some.
Mp#2-Replaced the mercury contactor. It had failed. I put the date/press# on the box of the old one and placed it in recycling as required.
Mp#13- Question: So, if all of the process technicians say they have been having problems with the screw on 13, who actually filled out a work request or told someone in maintenance?
Ronnie and I pulled it out. I extracted the broken tip and scrubbed the barrel prior to measuring the bore. Could not locate a bore gage to do a measurement for 32mm (1.2598"). Someone in quality may have something on days, or tooling. (No tooling person on this shift.)
Tagged it out at disconnect, not locked.
Continued with PM's. Trying to gain a little each week on the leaks.
Waiting on seal kit for #14 and #25 sled, (on order).
Call if there are any questions, have a great weekend!

MP-10 Robot part grip not working. It was getting a signal, but no air was going through the valve. I took the solenoid valve apart & cleaned it out. OK now.
MP-23 No nozzle heat—Jason changed the tip heater out; it must have grounded out. I reset the breaker. Working OK.
DR-27 The loader had no vacuum. I found the flapper valve had broken off. I made a new one & installed it.
DR- 10 ( The 100# dryer in the shop ) I checked the power supply control voltage, cleaned the edge connectors on the I.O. & mother boards, found the regin. temp
probe plugged into the wrong spot, & installed a new control door cover. Test ran it in the shop for 3 or 4 hours. Ran good.
The hose reducer for the new Novatec dryer came in. I installed it. They can have it back now.
I made up a purchase req. for another Novatec loader.
