I'm trying to get a sensible baseline for our proposed UR5e lathe loading. The hand-loading sheet lists different protrusions, then somebody has written 'poor seating' beside the largest one. We never measured the overall lengths. How is the next shift meant to tell a long blank from a badly seated one?
Can you connect each reading to a retained blank? If not, start with that on the replacement sheet. Otherwise the next shift gets the same puzzle in a different handwriting.
The blanks are numbered, Harish. Rebecca, it's from the chuck face, but the sketch doesn't say which face. The setter says he can mark the actual reference and repeat his comparison using the same blanks.
Nora, was that pip visible before loading, or did it only become obvious when you compared the measurements? I'm wondering how easily a normal incoming check would catch it.
Our new measurements found two blank lengths, but that doesn't explain the full spread. The setter repeated one identified blank and got two different protrusions. He's stopped that comparison until maintenance checks the stop arrangement.
Same setter and method. Maintenance found the stop lock loose, so its position wasn't staying put. They've restored the arrangement to the specified setup. I want the repeated measurements done again before calling that the whole explanation.
I've marked the old conclusion withdrawn, with the reason. The original readings stay visible. Nora's two-group repeat is on the setter's sheet, and the seating ends are included in his inspection.
Repeat finished. Protrusion is repeatable for each identified blank under the agreed check, and the difference between groups matches their overall-length difference. So we had real blank variation plus a loose stop, not a bad robot load. Thanks, Rebecca, for asking which face; that photo is now in the handover.
