Universal Robots UR5e: Different the tool connection adapter, no application evidence

I ordered Universal Robots UR5e from an unnamed seller in China with tooling confirmed in a sample trial for loading lightweight inspection pieces. The arm arrived, but the tool connection adapter differs from that setup. The seller calls the replacement kit equivalent without showing it handling our samples. I've waited 11 days for clarification and paused our tooling review before installation.

@RachelBarnes0609 Can you identify the agreed kit in the sample trial and the delivered items in your photos? That's a useful starting comparison.

@TheoArcher0410 Yes. The trial shows the agreed arrangement, and my unpacking photos show a different the tool connection adapter. The order messages link that selected kit to loading lightweight inspection pieces.

Send the comparison and ask what changed, plus application evidence for the supplied kit. Leave it uninstalled while its suitability is assessed.

@TheoArcher0410 I can now ask about the substitution using the trial and delivery comparison. We still need evidence of suitability, so I haven't installed the supplied tooling.

@RachelBarnes0609 The request now has a specific basis while leaving suitability undecided, rather than asserting a result you haven't observed.
