Upgraded MP 25 with new core sequence program. Changed P-ROM chips. Tried out works fine. Cores “off” , Special Core Seqence “on”.
Flipped Slide cyl on gate cutter tooling over for clearance.
Worked on Matsui Dryer Hopper DR53. No display. Check fuses, power, relays, run/stop switch, think it needs new board. Will call Matsui tomorrow.
Worked on Cinci Dryer in shop. Getting overtemp alarm on bed shift. They were trying to run it at 130 degrees for Acrylic. Raised the temp to 160 and overtemp to 35, had no problems.

Mp#15- Replaced nozzle heater band at Roy Smith's request.
Replaced bad contactor on the thermolator that was in the shop. Green tagged it and placed back in the auxilliary equipment area.
Made a fixture for the intake pivot to be drilled out at the mounting tab. The hole was flashed in and several had to be reworked, at Marty's request.
Repaired the web-trak sensor cable on the compact cannister hotstamp press. The cable had rubbed into the heater plate melting through it.
Soldered and tied it back up neatly.
The dryer in the shop needs the process blower changed out. I didn't see one in MRO so I plan to take the one from the dryer on the trailer out back to repair it. Also changed out the bad contactor in it.
Call if there are any questions.

Mp#1- Ronnie and I aligned the sled up using a dial indicator atop the purge sheild. Put the last cover on after tightening everything up. Bill said that no one was to touch it until Josh said it was ready.
Put the old screw and barrel from it back in the crate and located it on the storage trailor.
I labelled the #3 novatec hopper/dryer "waiting on repair parts" and put it in the auxilliary equipment area until we decide what we are going to do with it, so it would not be sitting around in the shop. I think we just need some new loader controllers and top hat assemblies to put them back online? We can buy something or rig something up? Let me know what you want to do.
If we can get the go-ahead, I can round up a lot of this stuff we are never going to use and gut the parts out of it and throw the rest in the scrap metal hopper. "5-S" style. See what you think.
Worked on Robot PM's. #20,#21, #22, #23,#24, and #25. I will submit the work order's Friday.
Call if you have any questions or want to make me laugh!

Yushin Picker project- Made some progress. The other relay interface box would not work. The controller pendant would operate the picker manually, but when I would try to put it into "Auto" with the Mold Open limit and safety gate signals jumped out, it gave a 5555 alarm, which was not found in the manual information.
Where I am now is, I put the 110vac transformer on the other relay box (the one from 18) and got it working again. Because that model of relay box indicates using the newer style pendants, and because that box supports features that the newer pendant has, I got the other controller cable to use with it when it comes back from being repaired. I do think we should attempt using the old style pendants unless we have a valid interface diagram for them. I contacted Yushin via E-mail for more specific information and am awaiting a response.
The Barrel for MP#1 did not come in last night.
There has been a molding meeting scheduled for Tuesday 5 and 6 pm.
Call if there are any questions.

I worked on the Classic fascia hot stamp. I got it set up with the small print pad. Randy is supposed to get us the QVC pad with the large print so we
can locate & drill the mounting holes .
I also worked on the Eagle fascia hot stamp. I got the mounting plate cut to fit & transferred holes in the slots to the base. All that’s left is mounting
the pad to the hot plate & set up.
MP-2 The top core on the top cover mold was bleeding off. I put a gauge on the valve & saw it was dropping out. They had it on core 2, so I changed
It over to core 1 & it worked fine. Will need to check it out when they finish the run.
I touched base with security & receiving all day --- Still no sign of the barrel. WT #*@*!!!!!!!!!!

Mp#18- Ran into problems using the interface box that was on it. It was first bringing up " 0000 " on the pendant display. When I checked for 24volts on the interface board, I was reading 52 volts. Shortly there after it blew a fuse on the 200 volt power circuit.
I took the interface into the shop along with the picker from 14 so I could work on it while they ran press 18.
I hooked up a 200vac supply circuit to it again and it was blowing those fuses as well, but not the ones on the intrface board, so I am looking at a bad transformer possibly on that interface.
Then I looked at the other interface and found a bad fuse on the board. I replaced it and followed through the relays on the diagram. I tested the picker out on it and it worked fine. I jumped out the option we will likely not use (injection verified) so it would not need a relay there. I labelled all the wires after tracing them back on the terminal strip and will put the SPI plug on it tomorrow and double check the wire connections in press #18 if it is down.
I will let you know how it goes.
MP#1-Ronnie is going to call me today when(if) the barrel comes in today and I will help him install it and get it going. provided we have all the parts.
Call if there are any questions.

MP- Robot kept stopping on “ Y “ axis. We found the over stroke block had moved.
MP-5 Robot CPU fault. Mark pulled & replaced the cpu card & cleared the fault.
MP-20 Replaced the nozzle heater band & thermocouple.
MP-16 Ejector cylinder bolts broke; Found 1/8” difference in the knock-out length. Had tooling turn down knock-outs, replaced eject. bolts,
& made a new eject. switch bracket.
Ordered more brass compression fittings from Nissei. ( for tie bar lube )
MP-5 Core 2 Leaking at manifold. Removed the fittings and put new Teflon on.
MP-6 thru 12 Vacuumed out oil pans.
MP-3 hooked up core switches & hydraulics on funnel mold.
MP-26 The chiller return line ball valve is cracked - the valve that comes out of the 4” line up top.
MP-3 The barrel end cap is leaking. I kept an eye on it so they could finish the run. At the end of C shift, they needed about 100 more parts.
They’re doing a mold change tonight. The end cap needs to come off to clean & reseat; That is if it’s not cracked.

Mp#20- Changed out the motor starter...was bad.
Welded the tank for the handle project. It needs to marked for the chiller fitting locations and I will weld the nipples in place and anything else that needs done.
Mp#18- Installed the 120vac Robot receptacle. Fused for 5 amps and checked that E-stop killed power. Labelled everything.
Mp#2- Got an error E00240. We powered it down and when it came back up it automatically went into reloading from the boot card.
When it came back up it evidently did not have the core 2 programming saved on the boot card because it does not have the page on the menu.
It is operational right now as the mold in it is only using core 1, but likely we need to reinstall that.
Call if there are any questions, be back Friday.

We have the Hot Stamp for the fascia cover working. Ronnie mentioned that someone needs to get another flat shaped "Oreck" hot stamp pad made because we used the ones for the HOKY which are curved.
Likely it will cause it to eventually wear out and then there will be none to replace it with.
It is in the shop.
Robot on #9- Rack and gear stripped out on the X- axis. I replaced them both and cleaned and greased the bearings. O.K. to run.
Mp#19- at 7pm on Sunday, we found the grinder completely full of santoprene from the handle overmold. It had not melted down yet but was on its way. The operator on our shift had put no runners in it yet because he was told that it was not working from the previous operator.
Mp#13- had a water leak and water got into the ejector valve cover causing it to short and malfunction. They had reported to Ronnie that it was running and the ejectors just quit working. We cleaned it out and they started working again. It stopped a few more times and I blew everything out with an air hose under there and set-up a fan for the rest of the night.
Robot on #4-Put new Keenserts in the Robot wrist to accept end of arm tooling. Holes were stripped out.
Mp#20- Butterfly bolts broke on ejector platen and eject forward switch was damaged. Replaced screws and switch, checked operation. O.k. to run.
Call if there are any questions.
