What should I send support about these intermittent Fairino FR5 stops?

Our imported package uses Fairino FR5 for fixture unloading with a rigid plastic housing in a compact prototype production area. It stops intermittently. I've been waiting 16 days since reporting it to the unnamed seller we bought from through Alibaba. I sent a phone video; they asked for more information. Fair, but what would actually help?

@LouisBrooks0833 The alarm text and sequence position would help focus your report. Do you've the alarm as displayed before restart, and can you place the stop relative to release?

@AlexCell I now have the alarm indicating a missing process confirmation. Reviewing the unedited video places the wait before release, so my original description of a dropped workpiece was inaccurate.

@LouisBrooks0833 Send a corrected description supported by the exact alarm, full recording and installed version details. Ask support to identify the expected confirmation and assign responsibility for the next diagnostic action.

Worth leaving my original description visible? It's wrong, but deleting it might make the replies look odd.

@LouisBrooks0833 Keep it with a clear correction. Explain that the full clip shows a pre-release wait; that tells support why the investigation needs to change direction.

@AlexCell On my setup, the arm and gripper contacts both thought the other owned the test. Naming one coordinator helped us get an actual next step.

Our correspondence shows a similar coordination gap. Both contacts refer me back to the other's response, and I can't find an assigned owner for the test.

Given the missing confirmation, the gripper seems to be the source of the problem. I'd ask its support contact to lead the diagnosis.

The alarm establishes that an expected confirmation wasn't received. It doesn't tell you whether the gripper, interface or sequence caused that, so it can't determine the diagnostic owner alone

I was too definite about the source. The package seller should coordinate investigation of the missing confirmation through the interface and bring in the relevant contacts without assuming a component has failed.

Is that Alibaba support, then? I'm muddling the seller and the place you bought it.
