We're planning preparing robotic welding of gusseted brackets with Universal Robots UR5e on a gusseted angle-bracket assembly in a small steel assemblies factory. Our old inspection notes say it looks aligned while restrained, then falls outside the drawing requirement after release. I want to untangle fit-up, fixture location and final inspection before our new cell inherits an unexplained correction routine.
This is a records review, not live welding adjustment.
What should count as dimensional acceptance after welding? (Universal Robots UR5e)

Does the inspection procedure define the released condition and reference supports? Check that alongside whether each old measurement says how the assembly was held.

@DavidAbbott0084 The sheets mix clamped checks and released measurements. Some don't say which. The drawing has the dimension, but our procedure leaves the support condition vague.

@SamAllen0333 Ask quality and the design owner to establish the intended acceptance condition, then group historical results by their documented measurement state to support comparison.

@DavidAbbott0084 Same restraint label still doesn't mean comparable. Unknown supports and mixed fixture or process revisions could remain inside those groups.
