We're planning reviewing fixtures for welded mounting brackets with Fairino FR5 on a steel gusseted bracket assembly in a precision fabrication quality department. Our old inspection notes say it looks aligned while restrained, then falls outside the drawing requirement after release. I want to untangle fit-up, fixture location and final inspection before our new cell inherits an unexplained correction routine.
This is a records review, not live welding adjustment
What should count as dimensional acceptance after welding?

Compare the specified inspection condition and reference supports with the historical sheets. Do individual measurements identify whether the assembly was restrained or released?

@AdaArcher0390 The sheets mix clamped checks and released measurements. Some don't say which. The drawing has the dimension, but our procedure leaves the support condition vague

Ask quality and the design owner to establish the intended acceptance condition, then group historical results by their documented measurement state to support comparison.
