I've stopped judging our spacer pickup from the overhead view. Side footage shows the block rotate when the second finger makes contact. The fixture seat looks settled before that, though maintenance hasn't finished comparing it with the drawing.
We've got the fitted fingers identified properly this time, not by their colour. What would you compare next before another point tweak makes the video look nicer?
Include the block's actual dimensions and the contact heights. One finger touching first may be expected; the observed rotation needs comparing with the intended grip.
Anil and Zara, both clips are linked to saved job versions, and the rotation predates the last adjustment. Will, maintenance is still checking the fixture. Grace, they've got the actual spacer with the fingers, not just my close-up.
The side view is useful. Is the second contact face actually flat against the spacer when it finishes closing, or does it catch an edge? I can't tell you which is right without the tool design, but that difference is worth showing.
Keep the identified pair out of the general spares drawer during this. Otherwise somebody can tidy away the evidence and leave the next shift with two immaculate substitutes.
Harish, the second contact catches on a damaged raised edge. Maintenance confirmed the fixture seat matches the intended arrangement. Elena, the shared work has moved to the existing manual bench; our supervisor has assigned cover rather than leaving it with the same operator twice.
That gives tooling something concrete. I wouldn't flatten the damaged edge locally until they've said whether repair or replacement is appropriate for that contact.
Agreed. Retain its received condition and ask the toolmaker to compare the damage with the intended contact profile. Correcting the profile must not change where the block is meant to sit.
Aaron, a matched replacement pair is available and the toolmaker has identified it against our assembly. Maintenance will fit it under the reviewed replacement work. We kept the damaged pair, Caleb. This time stores gets an actual part reference instead of another bag of blue things.
Yes, the job comparison is done and the replacement pair is fitted. The controlled pickup check no longer rotates the retained spacer. Release and the remaining sample range still need verification, so the manual cover stays. Thanks, Grace, for asking about contact height rather than just which finger arrived first.
