Who owns the finished collar's appearance acceptance now? Start with that person and actual samples. The gripper supplier can propose contact changes, but the new process should not invent its own easier standard
10 pointsQuality owns it. Our two inspectors viewed the collars under different lights
18 pointsHave them agree the viewing conditions and retain representative samples, including the faint bands, before asking the supplier to demonstrate an improvement.
23 pointsAnd inspect a sample before gripping it. A polished collar can arrive with marks; otherwise the gripper gets blamed for the entire journey.
11 pointsWe didn't do before photos. We have untouched collars from that lot, though
16 pointsUse those to plan a paired trial, with each collar checked before and after. Untouched neighbours give useful background, but they cannot tell you which marks were already on a specific handled piece
17 pointsWhat does softer mean in their proposal? I would want an identified pad material and geometry, not a sample of something pleasant to squeeze that nobody can reorder when it wears.
7 pointsOnly a material description so far. Asked for the actual pad reference
13 pointsDon't forget release. We tried a pad that looked kind to the finish and then kept the part when we wanted it gone. Different job, but worth including.
16 pointsQuality has agreed the viewing setup. Supplier will compare identified pads, including holding and release. No winner yet
15 pointsInclude the person who changes worn pads in that trial review, so the eventual replacement method preserves the contact arrangement you approve.
