Seller says equivalent but hasn't supplied a comparison (positioning inspection samples)

I ordered Fairino FR10 from an unnamed seller in China after they confirmed a configuration against our fixture drawing. The delivered label has a different suffix, and the interface around the gripper mounting plate looks different from that drawing. The seller says equivalent but hasn't provided a comparison. I've left our tooling unfitted and waited 39 days for clarification. The job is positioning inspection samples.

Do you've the seller's confirmation, delivered identification label, and fixture drawing available together? Comparing those would identify the discrepancy without assuming what the suffix means.

@MayaAbbott0040 I've the prepayment confirmation referring to our drawing and the different delivered identifier. Our unpacking photographs also show the interface as received, with no tooling installed.

Provide those records together and request an interface drawing specific to the configuration you received. Keeping the tooling off preserves the original condition while its compatibility is assessed.

@MayaAbbott0040 Is the suffix enough to call it the wrong revision? I don't want the whole conversation derailed by what one letter means.

@CallumAdams0099 A configuration discrepancy is a fair description. State the agreed and delivered identifiers along with the visible interface difference, so the seller can address both directly.

A matching interface drawing would establish that the delivered configuration is compatible with your fixture. Request that document to support the seller's equivalence claim.
