Mp#6, #7, #9 -platens have been stoned and sprayed with light coat. Holes all chased out.
Robot on #9 has been checked out and is ready to operate.
Mp#0- Thermolator is now working fine and tested. It now has three new pressure gages also.
480 Cord on the hot stamp roller has been changed to the molding style.
The feedthroat lines are finished on the 170's.
The dryer hopper potter project is also complete.
Have a great day!
I worked on the Turbo 350 pad printer and made all necessary repairs.
I set it up to run the Dayton graphic, made set up notes, and placed them in the back of the printer manual.
Mitch and I put the ink cup back in the ink clean up area and the cliche in the blue storage cabinet.
I also continued on the robot installation on mp#7.
Have a great day!
Robot interface on Mp#20 now matches that of Mp#18. I left the wire diagrams on Mark's desk.
Cory and Roy finished all of the platen holes on Mp#0, stoned them and put lightcoat on them. The tie bars need relubed again.
Marty finished the same things on Mp#18.
I also finished routing / connecting the cabinet wires for the robot on Mp#1.
Have a great day!
Ejectors would not retract but you could hear the pump loading and output RT was being energized on the I/O page. Found wire to Solenoid valve was cut.
We ran into a situation tonight where we needed an access card for the Van Dorn in order to complete the mold change.
Do we know when those cards will be distributed so that we can proceed with continued molding operations?
Let me know thanks!
The past week has had our team busy in many areas one of which has been working with the hot stamp roller machines. All of which have needed extensive attention to get into reliable operating condition.
NOTES
A few notes I wanted to make are on the temperature controllers they utilize. It is important to understand that the outputs must be allocated upon set up so that the SSD and Relay contacts are configured correctly ro work with the PLC controls.
Also be awarevthat the PLC will interupt the heat controls if the temperature controller settings are not correct in this application.
One way to verify this is to compare settings from another machine within the first three levels.
Also remember that to move up or down levels - "levl" must be flashing after the ↑↓ buttons have been held down for three seconds.
The pad printer training was very informative and both maintenance and process technicians from each shift were able to attend on 5/29/14.
It was important to our group that everyone received the same information from an authoritative source. Overall I think it was successful and feedback from everyone was good.
The Q&A session, led by Diversified Pad Printing experts, explained proper handling of the cliches, cup set-up, and parameter adjustments in addition to common pad printing process issues.
This was also an opportunity to identify many of the problems we have with our existing equipment and take inventory of the items we will be using and require for the upcoming production work we are looking forward to.
Here are a few pictures from the day!
