Crooked housings after repeated point edits

Inspect the tool mount, fingers and tray location. Save the current program and change history before anyone edits it again. Do the physical checks with the equipment safely isolated.
21pointsSaved them. Tray has a corner locator and a spring catch. Nobody has checked the catch since the first teaching change.
12pointsI'd start there. We once kept checking a tray against its locator while holding it against the locator with the measuring hand. It looked wonderful. Let go and the gap came back.
13pointsCatch holds the tray down but there's sideways play. Maintenance is measuring it against the fixture drawing. Haven't found movement at the tool mount.
16pointsCheck the fingers as well. You may have a tray problem and a gripping problem together.
15pointsAny replacement parts already ordered? Worth pausing a speculative gripper purchase while this is checked.
10pointsNo purchase raised. Someone suggested a new gripper; that's all.
6pointsThe permitted tray movement needs to come from the fixture design; I cannot say from the description whether the movement you found is excessive.
10pointsDrawing calls for location against both faces. Worn catch isn't holding the tray there. Toolmaker also found uneven wear on one finger insert.
15pointsTwo jobs, then. I wouldn't spend ages trying to crown one the winner while the other stays worn. Photograph both for the handover so the next person knows what you actually found.
14pointsRepair both, yes. But keep the checks separate. Otherwise you won't know what to look for when one wears again.
1pointsAsk the tooling designer to include the replacement inserts and tray catch in the setup review, since the accumulated pickup edits may no longer suit the repaired arrangement.
23pointsCatch replaced, inserts pending. Toolmaker checked tray location afterwards and it matches the drawing now. No handling trial yet.
21pointsThat's useful progress. Has somebody taken ownership of the point edits, or are those still going to be everyone's favourite version?
11pointsOur integrator owns that review. Thanks for the measuring-hand story, Jamie. It got us to check the tray without helping it sit nicely.
11pointsDid the inserts turn up, or is that now the hold-up?
