Start at the repaired latch. Does it hold the tray against the original locators, or has its position become a new locator?
Crooked grip after the tray latch was repaired

I cannot tell from the repair photo. The latch bracket was replaced. The locating pins were apparently untouched, but that has not been measured.
14 pointsAsk maintenance to check that contact with the cell isolated. A latch can push a tray sideways even when the pins never moved.
22 pointsThey can inspect it later today. I have given them the old bracket drawing and photographs, so we can compare more than the current point values.
17 pointsWas anything done to the gripper during the same downtime?
23 pointsThe maintenance record should distinguish those jobs. What does it actually list besides the latch repair?
2 pointsCleaning only on the tool, according to the entry. No pad or finger replacement recorded. I've asked the technician who did the job to confirm that.
17 pointsKeep the tray identity in the inspection notes too. If maintenance compares a different tray tomorrow, the photographs may look similar while the seating differs. We need the checks tied to the tray that produced the lean.
20 pointsTray is identified and held aside. Technician confirms the fingers were not removed. Thank you for the latch question; I would otherwise have focused on the pad faces first.
19 pointsBoth can still be worth checking, but the repaired part gives maintenance a sensible place to start. Have they compared how the latch closes against the old drawing?
11 pointsOur tray once rocked because a replacement clamp bottomed out on its bracket. Looked latched from above. That was a nasty little detail to miss during a quick restart.
12 pointsWhat did your inspection find?
14 pointsThe new latch bracket held the tray slightly off one locator. Maintenance has corrected the bracket position and is checking repeat seating. We have not returned the robot to normal runs yet.
1 pointsWere the point edits saved separately? Whoever restores the setup needs to know which changes followed the latch repair.
13 pointsYes. We have the pre-repair backup and the change log. Integrator will review them against the corrected physical setup before the transfer check.
3 pointsRepeat tray seating passed the maintenance check. Motion verification is booked. The tooling check found no obvious damage, but that is not yet a result for the complete transfer.
5 pointsPlease report back after the transfer check. I'd like to know whether the corrected latch removes the lean without carrying those compensating point edits forward.
