Mp#2 Grinder- It was overfilled with material and clogged up almost to the point of meltdown. We unclogged it and cleaned it out reset the breaker and tightened up the E-stop switch. Put back in use.
This occurred at 6:05 pm and had to have been clogged for at least a half an hour earlier on C shift, before our shift began.
This would make a good action item for September!
Vibratory Welder- Did a full P.M. on it. Tightened up door limit switches, brackets, and checked out hydraulic unit. greased the linear rails and inspected for anything loose. Relabelled tubing and Mark and I reset the adjustments on the laser range sensors.
Repaired leaking core fittings on the single cavity top cover tool in #11.
Continued with PM program, lubed tie bars and refilled reservoirs, checked for damged lines etc.
Have a good weekend.

Mp#4- Built EOAT for Edge Baseplate. Got it running, had to adjust Core pressures and flow controls. Was operating below 5oopsi. Now around 1600psi.
Mp#15- did PM on sprue picker. Repaired stripped out screw on advance stroke adjustment plate. Greased and inspected.
Repaired broken lube line on non-op side platen skate. replaced the nylon tubing with a piece of aluminum tubing. Hopefully it will last longer this time.
Chaged out EOAT on #11 for the Edge Top-cover core.
Set-up robot on press #23 for top cover single cavity tool.
Mostly helped process techs tonight, as we had one leave early in the shift for personal issues so we were short handed.
Will continue P.M. program tonight. Need to look into a way of tracking which ones are getting done so that we do not miss any.
Call if there are any questions.

Upgraded robot displays with speed control adjust on MP3, 8, 9, 10, and 11 today.
Ran chiller water to the dryer behind MP8 off the machine manifold and hung a sign on the ball valves, not to shut off unless machine pump and dryer are shutdown first.

Mp#5- Stopped once at 6:30pm, the back door had come ajar. Locked it closed. No further problems with it. Ran all night fine.
Mp#1-
Removed all of the panels from the press and thoroughly cleaned them and inspected all of the lubrication joints. Many were hand loose. Went over all of them with a wrench. All of the lines are in satisfactory working condition. The ones on top of the moving platen have obviously been stepped on a few times but are secure and intact.
Inspected the servo drive belts and mounting brackets on all of the drives including the clamp. They had no cracks or signs of needing replacement yet, other than the extruder belt which I noticed had some damage when I put the barrel back together. It is running very close to the flange on the drive pulley. The problem is that there is not any obvious way to attempt to adjust the "Tracking" or "center" the belt. It only has a tensioning screw. Shimming it might cause it to run back but then there would be the risk of it running back againt the servo motor.
Because of that, I made no adjustment to it without getting more feedback first, it may have came in like that?
.
I went through the list of items this weekend and had some questions as to where the Asset tags needed to go and which presses to put them on so if you can refresh me on that I will try to get those mounted Wednesday when I return.
the Hot stamp press that Ronnie worked on stayed on all night so it should be ready to use again. The heats did not go off.
Also wanted to get more input on the EOAT bench needed for the EOAT area before fabricating. There is a cart there now, did you want to make it portable? Should I check with Wayne? Was that his idea? ...Just Kidding.
Call if you have any questions.

" C " Shift - Weekend
MP-20 The cycle start timer wasn’t working. We saw input 14 on the plc flickering. Mark traced the wire & found a loose connection in the robot wiring.
MP-5 Added hydraulic fluid.
MP-2 & 6 PMed.
MP-20 Mold # 77015 – The DME heater plug on the mold had a broke pin – zone 6. I replaced the plug. The wires were short in the box so I had to add another splice in the wiring. I’ll have tooling let me
know when the mold comes back & I’ll fix it right.
MP-5 Pump motor overload tripped. Injection valve – off fault. Mark said the pack time was set too high. He lowered the time & it hasn’t stopped again.
MP-3 Zone 3 barrel temp was running away. The mercury contact was stuck- replaced it.
I worked on the bag clip hot stamp. The heat kept dropping out. I found a loose solder connection on the board. I re- soldered it & I have been trying it out
In the shop. So far I hasn’t cut off.

Mp#5- Fhd current input #1 exceeds limits alarm several times.
Pump overloads tripped a few times. We reset the pump and restarted machine and worked with EOAT to get parts.
When Josh came in at 11pm, he said that the throttle valve had been opened up to the extruder and this may have caused some pressure increases frm the pump. Possibly this could be why the pump was tripping out ("over-current").
He printed off the Milacron runoff data for the fhd and made several changes to hidden board values including a reduction in pump pressures output. More specifically he can let you know what he did.
It ran good without stopping since then until 2a.m. when it ran out of material.
Josh wants to make some adjustments to it when it goes down. It just went down for lack of material so we may be able to do something today.
Mp#26- made a support bracket for the thermolator process lines.
Mp#20- ran out of liquid color at 5 a.m. so may transfer the nest over to the other hot stamp press today and possibly look into the control issues with that old hot stamp press that keeps loosing control power or heats dropping out on it..
Cleaned up some oil and swept up shop.
Call if there are any questions.

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.
Call if there are any questions.
