Day 52: Strike a Pose!


Another day, another adventure unfolds. Traffic today seem a little heavier than yesterday. I thought yesterday was the worst that it could possibly get! But in a few days time, it will all be over for me. Patience, Hairol.

As told by Mr. James we went to the label factory in Cheras. Just me and my collie and I'm driving. Made an arrangement with a friend of Mr. James who will bring us inside the factory and monitor our work. The appointment was at 11am. We embark on our journey a bit early at 10.15am. I was afraid that I might took the wrong turn and arrived late at the factory. 

My hunch was right! I took the wrong turn twice! Lucky me, U-turns are everywhere for me to get back on track. Finally with the help of Mr. James I managed to arrive at the factory on time. In fact, we arrive exactly on time! As I got out of the car I looked at the time and it was 11.00am!

Mr. Alan, the person that will escort us into the factory has not arrived yet so we wait for him at the security post. Finally I managed to snap a picture of myself in front of the factory!! With the permission of the security guard of course. Fifty-two days and only ONE picture of myself on fieldwork! But one is better than nothing, right? Still, I have to censor the name of the factory because I'm not allowed to do so by Mr. James.



Few minutes later, Mr. Alan arrived and we followed him into the factory. This was supposed to be a short fieldwork but turns out otherwise. After re-installing the new inverter the motor of interest is ready to run. As soon as it ran, problems starts to surface. Before I describe the problem, allow me to reveal what devices are connected to the inverter. The switch terminal is connected to an external relay that is used to isolate the incoming signal, the potentiometer terminal is connected to a proximity sensor that will determine how much the motor should turn depending on the distance of an object (a label) within its sensing range.

The problem is that the sensitivity of the sensor is not acute enough. There are some other problems but I refuse to write here because its too complicated and I might bore you to death sleep. But finally after numerous trial-and-error on the speed and gain frequency at the inverter, I managed to solve the problem. Not entirely but up to the extent of obtaining the machine operator's satisfaction. It was 2.30pm when it was all done.

On the way back we took a detour to McD Seri Kembangan for lunch. Arrived at the office at 4pm. Quite an exhaustive day but at least I have a photo to commemorate it! When we arrived at the office Mr. James has gone out. At 5pm Miss Goh allowed us to go home and rest. Oh, one more thing. The trip to Johor was postponed to Thursday and its not in Johor Bahru but in Muar.
