Our imported handling package stops intermittently - tray unloading

Our imported package uses Universal Robots UR5e for tray unloading with an aluminum spacer block in a compact prototype production area. It stops intermittently. I've been waiting 18 days since reporting it to the unnamed seller we bought from through Alibaba. I sent a phone video; they asked for more information. Fair, but what would actually help?

@HanaBell0622 Have you captured the exact alarm before restarting? Also, does the stop happen before release, during it, or after it?

@JonasBrooks0807 Captured it: missing process confirmation. The unedited video shows a wait before release. I'd described it as a dropped part, which didn't help

Correct the ticket with that alarm, the unedited clip and the installed versions. Ask which confirmation is missing and who owns the next diagnostic step.

Worth leaving my original description visible? It's wrong, but deleting it might make the replies look odd

Keep it with a clear correction. Explain that the full clip shows a pre-release wait; that tells support why the investigation needs to change direction.

@JonasBrooks0807 My own support case stalled because the robot and gripper contacts each expected the other to arrange the test. A named coordinator clarified who would organise the next action.

@AdaBrooks0825 I've checked our messages. Same gap here: each contact asks what the other said, but neither has assigned the test

@HanaBell0622 That missing confirmation points to the gripper, so its contact should take the diagnostic lead.

You're jumping from a missing signal to a failed component. It could be the interface or sequence. The alarm doesn't assign ownership by itself.

You're right; I assigned the cause too early. Ask the package seller to coordinate tracing that confirmation across the interface, with both contacts involved as needed.

@JonasBrooks0807 When you say the seller should coordinate this, do you mean Alibaba or the business that supplied the package through the marketplace?

The unnamed seller who supplied your package. Alibaba is the marketplace; your technical request here is to the seller and their support contacts.

Would you send every log I've? There are lots, and I don't know which ones cover the stop

Ask which diagnostic files they need and provide the ones you can tie to the event. Include collection context; unrelated bulk can hide the useful bit.

I labelled my own attachments by what they showed, not 'new video final'. A small kindness to the person opening the ticket, and to myself.
