Our UR5e spacer grip leans at one end of the tray

Our UR5e picks spacer blocks squarely at the near end of the tray and crookedly at the far end. We've nudged the pickup twice. I'd like a cheap physical check before we buy new fingers.

Is the far end of the tray sitting fully on its support?

Looks like it from above. I haven't seen underneath since the tray insert was replaced, which sounds fairly silly now I've typed it.

Can maintenance compare the underside and locating contacts with the previous insert?

Yes, old insert is still on the shelf. I've added that to the inspection request. Not calling the new one wrong yet.

Also compare the block's seating in the near and far pockets. A tray can sit properly on its supports and still hold a part differently. Your location pattern gives maintenance something useful to look at.

Are you using the same identified block when comparing those two positions? Different blocks could muddy that quite quickly.

The clips use different blocks. Thanks, Hazel; I'll ask for a same-block comparison when maintenance checks the insert. We haven't got enough evidence to blame either fingers or tray yet.

Did the underside comparison find anything?

There is a raised edge on the new insert near the rear locating contact. Maintenance has sent it to the toolmaker to check against the drawing. Same-block comparison hasn't happened yet.

Ask them to explain that edge before changing it. It may be an intended feature or a fault, and the drawing check should settle that more usefully than another pickup nudge.
