1.12.15- Night Shift Activities

Worked on the hot runner controllers that had been brought in for repair. One needed a triac, another needed a switch, and some just had a bad fuse. Most were in fine working order, although some of the techs may have been confused at how the ITC and Athens models operate differently from the DME brand.?

Issue with ejectors not working.
I had all output signals to the valves. Hydraulic pressure was fine. Since I had some trouble on this press Friday, I decided to pull the valves and clean them. Everything looked fine. After reassembling,  I removed the ejector bar nuts and changed the retract limit further back so I could stroke it back and forth before reaching the ejector bar face. They worked fine until reaching the bars. I then attempted to pry the ejector plate on the mold forward to see that it wasn't in a bind. In fact it was. Chris Wilson from toolong verified that the mold was in a bind. After the back half was pulled, I confirmed that the ejectors were working correctly.
