Mp#4- Error 00047 problem.
For some reason the machine is rebooting and stopping in level 1. When powered down it usually comes up alright. Tonight I looked into it and found a red LED fault on slot 5 output card. After checking everything in the circuit, I found no problem with it, it just will not clear. That turned out to be unrelated to the more immediate problem. For that I tried the power supply that was in MRO and it DID NOT WORK at all. So, I put the old one back in. It has not stopped anymore in the last 9 hours it has been running so it may have been a loose connection in the power supply or card cage.??
Continued with #15 , finished drilling the holes on the stationary platen, got all but 10 tapped (by hand was the fast apparent way). Will continue on further tonight.
Have a great day.

Mp#11- Core not setting when the clamp closes. Cores appeared to be working correctly manually. Replaced the core switch and cable that appeared damaged. Problem still persisted, it would stop about every ten shots. Finally slowed the clamp down and adjusted the core cylinder flow controls until it began running without stopping. Evidently it was a process issue and not a mechanical problem.
Worked out the BOM and electrical diagram for the Temp Control Modification to the Milacron machines. Giving the copy to Mark Mckee.
Call if there are any questions.

Continued with PM's. Worked on Press#21 most of the night.
Was able to build one good liquid color pump from those that were torn up in shop. Right now there are 3 with bad control boards, 1 of those is probably toast but it might still be sent off for repair. I am guessing that most of them have had water in them or been dropped really hard. I put them back near the welding table for now, will continue to salvage them for parts as needed.
Have a good weekend, call if you have any questions.

MP#2- Zone #3 - (10p.m.)dropped out. Checked the circuit, it was good. Mercury relay appeared to be magnetized. Pecked on it, it resumed heating, no further problems.
Mp#20- The part drop tray under press needed an angle board to divert the parts towards the operator. The original plexiglas part had broken. Used it for a template and constructed a new one from Aluminum sheet, transfered the handles to it and installed.
Continued with PM's on presses 13 and 14 tonight, and painted some on the gray presses.

8.12-14.11 Weekend D-shift Sean
The conveyor in the shop needs a belt, I looked in MRO for another one but could not locate any.
I was able to find a pdf on the servo controllers/ servo motors in press# 22. There is some software available that assists in tuning and parameter adjustments of the drivers called Panaterm. There appeared to be some ways within the drivers to change response profiles on velocity and positions, etc. as well as look at actual values while it is running.
Since it did run fine all weekend without loosing position values , I would assume that this problem is, in fact, related to the static issue.?
Worked on PM's all weekend.
Mp#10 and #7. Painted on #7.
Installed the track sensor and adjusted operation for the connector nut press on #10. It is fit to run.
The overhead water pipes have been banging around all weekend, Jeremy and Ronnie were in here looking at them on saturday, my guess is that it is air in the lines? I told Roger to send out an email to Walter about it.
Have a nice day, call if there are any questions.

Mp#3- FHD current #1 alarm, found pump overload tripped, reset it and checked operation.
Mp#10- Nut press was not vibrating. Found sensor on RH side is bad, lens on it appears to be etched from solvent and will not focus now. I could not locate a replacement in MRO, so we may need to order a new one. Tricked it out so that it will still run from the LH side only. Posted a reminder on the PM board also.
Continued with PM.
MP#1- still running, will install the temp switch in the tank on auxilliary hydraulic power unit when it goes down next. I posted a reminder on the PM board in case A or B shift catch it down next.
Call if there are any questions. Have a nice day.

Mp#2- Power supply in 486 controller quit working. I put the one out of press#4 in it and it has been running fine. The one from MRO did not work. I also tried it in#4 and it did not work either, the 12v shuts down after a few minutes with power applied to it.
GR#1 - replaced the rotating knives and the bed knives. Checked operation at press #5, O.K. to run.
The auxilliary hydraulic core unit for MP#1 got really hot so I shut it down to cool off, Mark is looking for the schematics for it, likely something is not relieving properly.

The grinder on press #12 had the blades rubbing when I came in. I adjusted the bottom stationary blade. Checked operation, O.K. to run.
Cleaned out all of the robot control cabinets and replaced the raceway covers inside.
Continued working on PM's most of the night. Cleaned up oil under #8- it just looked like it had been there under the clamp a long time, not leaking anywhere. Painted the area around the valves, under the clamp.
Have a great day!

Mp#4- Steemer Nozzle Body Mold
Had problems with the core 1 set limit flag being missing, not allowing sensor to pick up the set position. No way to fix it right without pulling out the mold. I made a tooling work order and posted it on the machine. Advised the technicians to use the timers or pull it out. They later had trouble with the part sticking in the front of the mold and thought it was the core not pulling completely. I was able to process it to where it stopped sticking for the most part. Gil looked at it and said they would get to it when itcame out.
Vacuumed up oil and cleaned up oil that was on the floor around the presses. Continued with PM's. Cleaned up in the shop also.
Installed several more of the lockout mechanisms for the pump motor E-stop switches. Only have about 3 or 4 left to do now.
We are shutting down at 6am Saturday morning due to the schedule change. Give me a call or send me a message if you need me in an extra day this week, otherwise see you Wednesday.

Mp#2- Runaway nozzle temp. Mercury contactor looked like it had been pushed sideways some. I straightened it up, no further problems, but, I did look in MRO for another solid state relay to replace the contactor and did not find anymore.
Mp#4- replaced 24V4 fuse, Jason said that it got blown during a mold change, inspected it and found no smashed wires or anything.
Worked on PM's and changed out some of the E-stop switches to add the lockout feature for Walter.
They were running MP#3 so I could not continue with the current sensor installation.
Call if there are any questions. Have a nice day.

Mp#10-
Worked on the nut press for the connector. The nuts that were loaded into it were oily and I had to tear it down and clean everything. It may still need some minor adjusting where the track runs into the press on the right side.
Continued with PM's.
I have been cleaning the water filter screens out, they are very dirty right now.
Have a great day.

Mp#11- Replaced the A-axis sensors an wired them in, found where A-home had also been jumped in the cabinet. Put it back correctly and checked it out thoroughly, good to go now. Not that we use the A- axis much, but recently we could be using it to separate parts with two sides, etc.
The guide-rod under the clamp cylinder came off, just needs to be put back on when it goes down again.
Bill said one of the loading system pumps gave them trouble today, gasket got sucked out causing lost suction on press 18.
Mp#1- Extruder started messing up and tripping the servo alarm. Took the panels off and discovered the lube had run dry although the grease tube holder appeared to have grease, it was not compressed by the spring. I replaced it and also had to clean out the screw threads and regrease them by hand. Got everything working again and then shot every fitting full of grease I could find. O.K. to run.
Note: The process techs or whoever cleans out the hoppers needs to stop blowing dust and material all over #1. It had plastic worked into the ball screw threads so bad it looked like teflon tape. It has not been that long since I cleaned it out last time.
Replaced the nozzle band on #21 at the techs request.
Mp#2- Zone 3 quit heating. Checked heater bands, thermocuople, found that the wire to the coil on the mercury contactor was loose. Tightened it up and checked operation, no further problems.
Have a nice day.

MP#20- Changed out all 3 heater bands on the nozzle. Nozzle bleeding back at sprue after just a few shots.
I changed the sled pressure sensor and adjusted it. Still continued to bleed back. Changed the nozzle tip out and checked alignment, had problems where the shims had come out.
I made some new ones with the material we had in the molding projects cabinet. Put them on, adjusted sled alignment again, checked operation, appears to be doing fine now.
Mp#4- Repaired wires on Core 2. Replaced the entire cable which was too short anyway on the Steemer Nozzle Mold.
Continued with PM's.
Call if there any questions.

Mp#5- has some problems with the clamp. When it opens it opens as though tonnage pressure has not be released well and it slams open shaking the entire press, enough to cause the robot to loose control power briefly.
Mp#20- Changed out a nozzle heater band and repaired a T/C connection.
Worked on the R2 Fascia Project some more. It is now on the table in the shop.
Cleaned up the shop and put some new tape on the floor in places. Took out the trash, etc.
Have a great Easter Weekend! Call if there are questions.
