75033 Mold- Seems like each time they change the tool, a new core switch and/or cable have to be replaced on the mold. I am starting to collect a few broken ones now.

I went through presses 6 through 11 and installed a gard so they do not push the trolleys into the robot power plugs.

Installed runner chute from aluminum onto the grinder on #11 because Marty said that Wayne does not like cardboard and tape.

Put the one-shot loader on the Nova-tech hopper/dryer #3 and put it back into operation. Looking at wiring up something to make use of the other top-hat on the table in the shop.(maybe put it on the hopper that is on the trailer?

Worked on PM's tonight, will continue through the weekend.

Call if there are any questions.

I  vacuumed out the rest of the oil pans & emptied the waste oil  drum.

 

I installed the QVC fascia pad & set up the hot stamp. The pad isn’t contoured to the part, so it took a lot of shim tape. They changed the location of the artwork

   AGAIN !!!!!    I located the new pad so they can change back to the old one without moving the mounting plate.

Me and Gary set up Dukane welder with new fixture and new Branson Horn.  Located, drilled and tapped for new fixture.  Shimmed fixture .080” to get closer to parallel horn to part.  Dropped down stop to just above main part body.  Started with .8 weld time and could not tear weld with pliers.  Weld was very Hot, some weld slag visible on part.  Reduced weld time to .6 sec, still welding all around. Parts look better.  Run 30-40 parts, looks good.  Turned over to production.  Have a Nice Day!

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.

MP-2  The bottom core on the top cover mold is leaking. Bill Potter said they had to run it until tomorrow morning. I put some pads down.

I set up the fixtures on the band saw in our shop & the saw in the molding shop to rework the cardboard.

 

I  cut & threaded some ½” pipe for molding techs.

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.
