Today I wired the core switches on a mold in tooling. The cheap ejector back limit switches the molds are coming in from China with are not durable to withstand everyday use. I have been replacing them with the Omron style switches we keep in MRO, when I find them already damaged or broken. This will save $$ in both time and replacement costs, with improved reliability.

I added longer power cord and air hose to the pad printer. I have been doing this to all of them when they come in the shop because of the limited 230 vac receptacles we have on the IMM's and because they often need to be used out of the way from production activities at the press.
The tote system Mark is implementing for keeping up with pad printing should help to speed along changeovers when they are required, and should also provide better organization and care to the pads and cliché's over time.
Have a great day!
