Start with what changed. Pads, fingers, tray supports, part revision. Retain the pickup versions too, since several corrections can hide the order of the original trouble.
Another UR5e station, another spacer grip corrected sideways

Tilted in the fingers, or already tilted in the tray before pickup? Those are different starting points for your inspection.
11 pointsBen, the videos start with the block already held. Hazel, a tray insert was replaced between the first and second edits. No recorded finger change.
9 pointsGet someone to look under that insert. We once had a replacement that looked fine from the top while its locating face sat on a trapped label. No amount of admiring the top view improved it.
14 pointsWho checked the replacement insert when it was fitted? I want to know what their check actually covered, not blame them for using the sheet they were given.
10 pointsElena's point matters. The record might only confirm the part number and latch closure, not that the pocket faces are in the intended place.
-8 pointsAnd a tray fault found now wouldn't explain why the first edit was needed before replacement. Keep both questions alive.
7 pointsElena, operator checked the number and closed the latch, exactly as Hazel guessed. Lin, maintenance is inspecting the underside and the block's seat. The earlier pickup issue remains separate.
3 pointsGood. I wouldn't turn my trapped-label story into your diagnosis before that look, tempting though a cheap answer is
4 pointsLin, did your changeover sheet include the underside after that? We show labels and latches rather well, actual locating contact less well.
3 pointsIt did, with the maintainer's photo of the relevant contact. Not a demand to dismantle everything at each change. The operator needed to know what proper seating looked like and when to stop and ask.
17 pointsThat is the useful handover detail. Include the replacement identity too, because the same photo won't necessarily explain a later insert revision.
15 pointsMaintenance found a small raised patch on the replacement insert's underside. Toolmaker has it for comparison against the drawing. Not a trapped label this time, and no restored-transfer result yet.
4 pointsDid the block rock in that insert before removal, Amy? You mentioned maintenance checking the seat as well as the underside.
1 pointsYes, they could rock the identified block in the pocket with the insert fitted; they haven't yet separated the insert seating effect from its pocket shape.
9 pointsWill that same block be retained for the comparison when the insert returns? It would be useful to show the operator what changed using the same piece.
13 pointsKeep it, then broaden the check to other relevant blocks and tray positions. A single retained sample is a useful starting point, not the whole acceptance test.
18 pointsIt's marked and retained. Thanks Elena, maintenance had kept the insert but the block was about to go back into the tray pile. Wider comparison is in the request too.
6 pointsAnd have the programmer review those accumulated corrections with the restored setup. Would be a shame to repair the hardware and then faithfully reproduce the software's compensation for it
