Our planned planning fixture changes for component placement with Fairino FR10 in a small robot fixture station uses interchangeable nest inserts. The insert for a rigid connector housing looks almost like another family insert and appears able to fit backwards. We're reviewing this before automated use.
I need a check that connects the installed tooling to the recipe, not just a nicer label
@NadiaAli0204 Use the drawings to establish whether the reversed insert can fully occupy the intended seat. Then compare its identity and revision with the recipe's setup requirement.
Ask the fixture designer to review asymmetric keying using those drawings. A configuration table should also link the insert's identity and revision to the applicable part and recipe.
@NadiaAli0204 The keying could contribute to identification if the other insert can't engage the intended seat. Have the designer demonstrate that comparison as part of the review.
@ChloeBell0657 You're right; I compressed distinct requirements into that answer. Identity, orientation and full seating each need assessment, even when a feature contributes to several of them.
Yes. Identifying an insert and establishing its installed condition answer different questions, so the integrator needs to define how each requirement will be confirmed.
The changeover requirements are clearer, but I can't yet say our insert arrangement establishes the correct setup. The tooling and recipe checks still need to be assessed together
@NadiaAli0204 The open decision follows from that distinction: the checks are better defined, while the tooling and recipe arrangement still needs assessment.
