Which faceplate should sit beside our FR5 scratch example?

The reference is readable in the original captures and matches the retained plate. Quality already has it; I should have said that. Their examination of the arrowed areas is the bit still missing.

Keep an accepted finish example alongside any actual reject they find. I cannot tell from one bright plate which surface variation your process allows.

And withdraw the unconfirmed labels from the shared commissioning set, Mei, because the next person will read scratch as a judgement even if you personally meant possible scratch.

Nora, yes. Keep the raw captures, though. The moving band may still help the optical person even after the confident arrows have gone.

Quality accepted the arrowed plate and supplied an identified reject with a small groove near the same edge. The original labels are withdrawn. Camera specialist is comparing both parts over the intended presentation range.

Can the groove still be seen at the awkward end of that range?

Not with the first lighting setup. The groove disappears into the bright edge band at one extreme. The specialist has proposed a revised light position and is checking that against the complete required view.

Keep access for cleaning and resetting that light in the layout review as well, Mei; somebody eventually has to reproduce the attractive bench result without the specialist standing beside them.

And Sofia's accepted plate stays in the next comparison. Don't let the difficult good finish vanish now you've found a proper reject.
