I need a better manual-study sheet before planning automatic loading. It records only how far each steel bush protrudes, so blank length and seating are mixed together. Automatic loading remains unauthorised.
Pair each projection reading with that blank's independently measured length. Otherwise there is no way to know whether two projections came from different lengths or different seating.
A study I saw used two convenient reference faces for projection, depending on who held the gauge. We almost chased the chuck over it. Agree the reference and measurement method before collecting the new rows.
Quality has specified one reference face and a method. The setter is defining the approved seating observations; I am not adding robot loading to that study.
And record any clean-up or reseating between readings. If the second measurement follows an unrecorded intervention, you'll be back to guessing why it changed.
Are you retaining the blanks until quality finishes the comparison? A surprising row is much easier to investigate when its part has not joined the next batch.
Yes, retained by identifier. The first results show length explains only part of the projection variation. Some seating observations differ too; no single cause established.
Was the reference-face method used consistently in those results? Interested because that was the mundane failure in the study I mentioned, and it wasted a lot of clever discussion.
Quality confirmed the recorded method was consistent. They are reviewing the seating cases with the setter before defining another study. Robot sequence design remains waiting for that result.
