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.

5.21.11 D-shift Sean
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.

5.03.11 D-shift
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.

MP-3 Replaced one rear zone heater band & nozzle tip band.
MRO- Sorted out parts on west end shelves- ( non stock items ). Made some of them stock items, Moved some to trailer, & threw the rest out.
MP-7 The nozzle contactor may be about to go out. Tech called me to the press & said the nozzle wouldn’t heat. When I opened the cabinet to check it out,
The heats started working. I f it quits again, I’ll change it out.
MP-18 The hot stamp heat was cutting off. I checked the T.C. connection & checked for any other loose connections. Put it back together & turned it on,
OK for now.
MP-5 The hot stamp foil jog motor is indexing slow. It’s keeping up. Didn’t get a chance to check it out. Maybe it will hold out till they finish the run &
give us time to work on it.

Program change on MP3
Since the mold was broken by eject retract with a part still on it. Temporarily we have changed the PLC program on press 3 with added safe guards to prevent mold from retracting the ejectors if the you do not have vacuum confirmation and there is a back check on the vacuum sensor to make sure the switch is adjusted properly. Multi-eject, Y up after eject, and eject retract before X back has been disabled. We will work on a better solution as time allows.

MP-16 Wouldn’t shoot. One of the nozzle heater bands was bad, but it didn’t help that they heated the nozzle with a torch ( Sanaprene ). Needless to say,
It was like concrete. I took the nozzle & adapter apart & cleaned. Reinstalled with new heater bands & a tip with a larger oraface.
MP-3 Breland said he wanted clippers set up for the canister. We looked at it & talked to Jerome. He said it would be easier to break the runner off & use
a heat gun on the stress mark.

Mp3 had some problems with nozzle heats running to 485 and the set point was 450. The contactor was good. Done some tweeking with the offset and gain. Still no good. I eliminated 2 bands as someone had crammed too many bands on a long nozzle extension and a long nozzle tip causing degradation of material causing splay That’s why I was called there for in first place. Heats are consistent now.
Worked on PMs

4.9/10.11 D-shift Sean (Weekend)
Mp#7- replaced all the nozzle bands and thermocouple from a bleedoff. Mp#16- replaced the nozzle band and removed bleed off. Mp#12- Checked all of the heater bands on the barrel (at Potter's request). Also hooked up the dewpoint meter to see if dryer was working correctly. I did find some loose heaterbands on the nozzle, but all of the barrel bands were good. Mp#23- Replaced the conveyor drive belt on one of the small conveyors. Installed the lockouts on the E-stop pushbuttons until I ran out of them. I still need several more to have them installed on all presses. Repaired the heat guns that were in the shop. Both had bad heaters and one of them needed brushes. Checked operation and tagged them, located them in the auxilliary equipment area in molding. Mp#8- Verified the core sequence switch was right for the old fan mold (Potters's request). Replaced nozzle heater bands on this one also. Mp#5- rebuilt the core cylinder on non-operator side. Reinstalled only to find the pull switch was bad. Broke it off in the plate when I tried to remove it and had to pull the plate and core back off again. Got that fixed and then the machine started alarming prefill valve did not open in time. I zeroed the tonnage offset and checked comm vec values for that problem and it started working good after that. I did take some photos of the classic IML station and started putting the door latches on the R2 IML station but kept getting interupted. Call if you have any questions or just want to touch base.

MP-3 Replaced the mercury contactor on the front zone.
MP-6 Vacuumed oil pan – AGAIN - We have another motor & pump in the bunker – just need the time & man power to put it in.
I’ve been checking the vacuum sensors on the phaser robots- found three of them adjusted too high. They need to be setting these up for each eoat.
MP-10 I tried out the prototype part for the nut press , it looks like it will work fine.
MP-2 They hung the main frame & the core plugs were missing again. Also one of the hydraulic quick-connects was broke off, and the eject. back safety
switch wire was mashed between the mold & platen, other than that, it was in great shape.
MP-2 Small blowback- took out nozzle heater band & fuse.
MP-1 Blow back- Pulled nozzle wires apart. It had a ¾ tip on it & the mold was ½” . I thought they were going to make them all ¾ .
Power outage- Tripped the north buss breaker & shut down the compressor. Reset.
I put gear oil in MP-2,3,& 4.
MP-5 Core plugs on the mold were broken. I hard wired them in to get them going. Will change them out when they pull it.
MP-4 I had no signal from the input card for Y reference. I pulled one out of MP-3 & tried it, worked fine. I put the one I thought was bad in MP-3- It ran good.
It must have been a bad edge connection. MP-8 Core not moving—Had a bad quick connect.
MP-5 The core cylinder on the non-operator side blew a seal . I pulled the cylinder & put it in the shop. Sean was repairing it when I left.

4.8.11 D-shift Sean
Robot on #11- stopped a few times. The x-axis was giving an error. I slowed the speed value down from 11000 to 8500 and that seemed to help as it did not stop anymore through the night. Press#16- Cleared a nozzle bleed-off. Press#14- replaced a nozzle heaterband. Installed the E-stop switch lock out devices on presses#2,4,6,7,8,9,10,18,and 22. I am keeping up with them on the PM board. Bill Potter requested that Ronnie get Gil to replace the worn out section of the 14mm allen socket they use for changing molds. It is worn out. Transfered the heat treat item as directions prescribed, left it laying on the table beside the oven. Swept the shop floor once over. I will continue with Pm's tomorrow and whatever else is available for repairs pending, projects, etc. Call or email if there are any questions. Have a great day. Sean
