Our UR5e block leaves the fixture square and reaches the tray crooked

Can you see whether it twists before touching the tray or at the first tray contact?
12pointsWe once watched the wrong end of a transfer for ages because the report called it a pickup fault. Your title is already more useful. I'd show maintenance the last square frame and first crooked one together.
19pointsAnd tie that recording to the program version before the next helpful edit changes the comparison.
2pointsZara, the receiving guide hides the first contact, so I can't answer yet; Luca, the clip is tied to the saved job and I've stopped further edits.
18pointsHave maintenance inspect the receiving guide and intended clearance under isolation. Don't make a nearer live video the next step just because the useful bit is hidden.
6pointsDoes the block show a contact mark that could help them locate where it catches?
9pointsThere is a shiny rub on one lower corner, but I don't know whether it existed before this transfer; I've kept that block with the tray.
9pointsThat uncertainty is worth saying. I wouldn't quietly promote the shiny corner to proof just because it matches what we're all now looking for.
0pointsExactly. Useful sample, uncertain timing.
11pointsMaintenance found the receiving guide mounted inside its drawn position; a replacement backing strip is thicker than the specified one, moving the guide towards the block.
17pointsWas that strip replaced around the time the point corrections started?
9pointsYes, the service entry predates the first correction; there are three edited job versions after it, all with a receiving-position change.
5pointsThen get the intended guide arrangement restored and the compensating edits reviewed together. Otherwise one person fixes the hardware and another leaves the robot faithfully avoiding the old mistake.
15pointsWho is coordinating those two pieces of work?
-2pointsOur maintenance lead, with the programmer; the correct backing strip is fitted and measured, and they have selected the reviewed job for the return checks.
13pointsInclude the ordinary replacement tray as well as the one that exposed this. A lovely repeat on one carefully seated tray won't tell the covering operator much about the next changeover.
17pointsAre the old edited jobs still selectable?
7pointsArchived outside the operator job list, Luca; Rachel, both normal trays were included in the checks, with the operator doing the changeover. No twist at entry and no new corner rub on the identified samples.
6pointsThank you for checking the surface as well as the movement; that was the loose end I was wondering about.
11pointsThe backing-strip reference is now on the spare list and the service check names its thickness; I'm glad we stopped calling it pickup drift before buying fingers to compensate for a receiving-guide error.
