Trim-plate streak travels while the scratch label stays put

Our proposed FR5 inspection has a bright stripe that shifts when the brushed plate is reseated, but the example folder labels every stripe a scratch. I've retained the plates and original captures. What should quality identify on the actual pieces before we compare camera conditions?

Sample identity, actual feature, accepted or rejected against the agreed appearance requirement. Whole-part view plus close-up. A crop alone can leave everyone guessing which corner matters.

Whole views are available. Quality found one accepted plate with the travelling stripe and a separate plate with an edge scratch. The scratch is faint in the current camera view, so the attractive picture isn't helping much.

Keep both for the comparison, because reducing the harmless stripe would be a poor improvement if that faint scratch disappears too

And ask the loader to show how the plate seats in the intended holder, since the camera comparison needs a repeatable presentation that somebody can actually achieve on shift.

Agreed. Fixed seating for the first lighting comparison, then repeat seating as its own check. Record which condition produced each image.

Rebecca, is there a useful view of the seating contact for the operator on your fixtures? Ours often hides the bit everyone is supposed to inspect

Sometimes we need tooling to change the view or access, rather than write a better instruction; I would not assume Harish's holder has that problem, but it is worth asking the person who loads it.

Our loader can see the side stop but not the rear contact. Tooling is reviewing that. Thanks Rebecca, it was easy to say repeatable seating when the person doing it couldn't see half the seat.

Keep the confirmed parts and capture conditions while the holder is reviewed. Do not quietly replace the awkward rejected plate with an easier example.

Harish, did tooling find a practical way to check that rear contact? Interested before the next round of images arrives
