Fairino FR10: Our planned batch is 8; the demonstration covered one finish

Our planned batch of 8 involves Fairino FR10 handling a printed shipping carton during transferring closed cartons between packing stations in a robot-assisted packing project. I'm reviewing the vacuum tooling because the supplier demonstrated it on a smooth sample, whereas our incoming packaging varies in seams, print and board surface. I'd like evidence covering those conditions before accepting the concept.

Where do the cups land on your packaging drawing? Overlay their footprints on the allowed seam and print areas, then label representative carton samples.

@RaviChen1172 I've compared the drawings: a seam is permitted inside the area the cup sketch assumes is clear. The demonstration sample doesn't represent that seam position.

Give the vacuum specialist the overlay and representative samples. One option for assessment is a revised footprint that avoids the permitted seam region.

@RaviChen1172 That option addresses a possible contact-edge problem, but the board itself may leak. The surface variation in the opening needs assessment beyond seam avoidance.

Correct, I narrowed it too far. Ask the specialist to distinguish through-board leakage from leakage at the contact edge across your samples.

We've several approved carton sources. Should I group the sample request by supplier or by surface finish to make the comparison useful?

@WillChen1183 Record both. Supplier identity won't describe every finish, and matching finishes don't prove identical board. Include the seam arrangement with each sample too.

On my packing setup, the smooth sample was legitimate stock. It just represented one accepted finish, not the rest of the packaging we received.

@CalebBarnes0580 I'll describe the demonstration as limited in coverage rather than misrepresenting the sample. My request is for assessment of the incoming conditions it omitted.

@RaviChen1172 Can't they just use more suction when the board leaks?
