We keep nudging pickup points when our Fairino FR5 setup gets unreliable at tray loading with a molded plastic sleeve in a supervised production bench. The tray looks like it's in the same place, but the grip seems less square. I'm suspicious of all these tweaks.
What should I inspect before blaming the arm or reteaching everything?
@PriyaAli0220 Preserve the current settings and pause further nudges.
Have maintenance inspect finger mounting, contact surfaces and tray seating under the proper isolation procedure, using that observation to guide the checks.
@PavelChan1049 Agreed, I called it too early. Treat the replacement as a lead; verify installation and contact condition alongside tray location before assigning the cause.
My separate handling setup had both worn gripping surfaces and variation in tray seating. Coordinate corrections alone gave inconsistent results because they didn't address either underlying condition.
Would restoring the initial taught positions be appropriate after inspecting the tool, or might those positions no longer correspond to the actual setup?
Only if they match the verified setup. Tooling, frames or presentation may have changed; your responsible technician should compare the configuration before any supervised validation.
@HassanArcher0356 We haven't verified that match yet. I've stopped treating 'original' as a magic undo button and kept the current configuration available
@PriyaAli0220 Good. Also, 'tray looks the same' isn't a seating measurement. Your pre-contact observation helps, but it doesn't cover every tray replacement.
The available findings haven't established a sufficiently clear cause or remedy. Further pickup-point changes remain paused while the investigation is unresolved
