Fairino FR10: The tray looks fixed, but the grip looks crooked

We keep nudging pickup points when our Fairino FR10 setup gets unreliable at tray unloading with a small polymer housing in a small assembly handling cell. 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?

Does the angle change before contact or as the fingers close? Existing footage may help you locate where things start going wrong.

In the footage, it sits consistently in the checked fixture and turns during gripping. So the crooked position isn't there at the start

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.

The maintenance notes show contact pads were replaced before the first point adjustment. That's the first useful clue I've found in the history

@ReeceBaker0471 The timing suggests the replacement is responsible. I'd check whether the pads were installed in the specified configuration.

@EmmaChan1072 Timing isn't enough to call it the cause. Check the pads, yes, but don't let one maintenance entry explain away fixture variation.

Agreed, I called it too early. Treat the replacement as a lead; verify installation and contact condition alongside tray location before assigning the cause.

I've settled the inspection route: preserve the settings, stop nudging points and have maintenance check the grip and seating. Any restart of trials depends on that assessment; I haven't pinned this on the arm

That answers the inspection-order question. Keeping the arm diagnosis open fits what your observation actually shows.
