Capture when the tilt begins. Is the puck already leaning in the tray, pushed over as the fingers close, or moving after lift? Keep the tray and tool contacts visible, not just the arm.
Puck tilting despite the FR10 pickup edits

It rocks as the second finger closes. Looks flat before contact.
17 pointsLet the operator who noticed it show maintenance. On our training jobs that person often knows which row or changeover makes it worse, then gets left out while everyone discusses the robot.
22 pointsWhich pickup version made that clip? I'd keep the versions identifiable while the physical checks happen, otherwise a good-looking result later becomes hard to explain.
11 pointsVersion 7. Operator says it began after a finger replacement, but edits started earlier.
19 pointsSo there may be two periods to understand. Have maintenance compare the fitted pair and mounting faces with the intended drawing. Don't assume the replacement explains complaints that predate it.
16 pointsCan the operator see the finger difference from the loading side? I ask because a check sheet can tell somebody to inspect a contact that disappears behind the tool as soon as it is fitted.
6 pointsRachel, exactly. We once moved the useful photograph to the operator's side of a fixture and suddenly the same instruction became understandable. No extra paragraph needed.
11 pointsThe rear contact is hidden from loading. Maintenance can inspect it during the tooling check.
5 pointsNoah, did moving the photograph solve the visibility or just explain what to look for? I'd be wary of making a hidden contact seem inspectable because the picture is good.
13 pointsIt explained a contact that was visible from that side on ours. It would not solve Louis's hidden one. That needs a workable check, not a better photograph of an inaccessible surface.
11 pointsFor this investigation maintenance can inspect the dismantled tool. The eventual operator check is a separate design question. Both matter, but we don't have to answer them with the same viewpoint.
18 pointsMaintenance found the replacement finger sits against a raised burr on its mounting face. Repair arranged.
12 pointsThat gives the designer something specific for the future check. Ask what verifies correct assembly after replacement, rather than ask the operator to see the hidden contact every cycle.
11 pointsHas the repaired pair been tried through the full transfer yet, Louis?
15 pointsNot yet. Burr removed and pair checked. Programmer reviewing versions before the transfer trial.
9 pointsKeep the earlier complaint open in the notes. A mounting fault can explain the newer tilt without explaining why someone first started adjusting the pickup.
9 pointsWill do. Thanks for separating those. I was about to call the whole history explained.
3 pointsAnd give the operator the result when the trial happens. They spotted the visible change; they should not have to guess whether the latest program has merely disguised it again.
