Spacer grip less square at our UR5e loading bench

Our spacer grip keeps worsening despite pickup nudges. Tray looks fixed. What should I inspect first?

Inspect how the spacer actually sits before pickup. Looking at the tray from a standing position isn't checking its reference, and a crooked final grip doesn't identify when the angle appeared.

Are all tray pockets affected, Ben, or only particular ones?

Gabriel, worse in the back row. David, we haven't recorded the spacer angle before closure.

I'd have maintenance compare those pockets with the intended tray condition and retain the point history, so the person restoring presentation also knows which compensations have accumulated.

Compare a known spacer in both rows too. Otherwise different parts and different pockets can travel together through the check, leaving you with another convincing-looking coincidence.

Same spacer tilts in the back row before pickup. Technician found damaged pocket inserts there.

Does the replacement tray seat the same spacer flat in those positions?

Useful finding, Ben. Thank you for separating the before-pickup observation from the finished grip; that gives the maintainer something definite to restore, though the accumulated taught changes still need their own review.

Replacement seats it flat. Maintenance is comparing the pickup edits before a supervised return check.

Keep that check assigned to a named person and leave production status unchanged until it is completed; a delivered tray can otherwise become a completed repair in the planning sheet.

And don't bin the damaged inserts before their condition is recorded. You want the next complaint compared with a known failure, not with everybody's memory of a crooked block.
