How do I check whether pickup edits are masking finger movement?

Our FR10 spacer pickup now looks skewed after several point edits. I found witness marks near one finger mounting. What should maintenance compare before we change the program again?

Have them check the finger mounting and contact faces against the intended tool setup, with it isolated; photograph those witness marks before anything gets disturbed.

Photos taken. Maintenance says the marks could be from an earlier finger position, so they're checking the mounting rather than treating the marks alone as movement.

Fair enough, old marks can send you chasing history; have you got a setup photo from before the pickup started going off?

Only a front view. It shows the contact pad but not the mounting. The pad also looks more worn on one side now.

Show them that wear too, though it may be the result of the skewed pickup rather than the first thing that went wrong.

Don't grant the tray a free pass. We spent ages staring at fingers once while the removable insert was rocking underneath the part. Check the whole seat before buying a nice new pair of pads.

Agreed on checking the seat, but a worn pad still needs assessing even if the tray started it.

Does the spacer sit squarely in the tray before pickup? A clear answer there would help separate the checks. No need to make the arm the only suspect.

It does not sit squarely in one pocket. Maintenance found damage at that pocket edge and is inspecting the pad separately. No confirmed finger movement. Thanks, Julia; I had focused too narrowly on the marks.

Which tray pockets were used when the point edits were made? You may need that history when the repaired tooling is verified.

And please identify the pad you need before asking stores for a replacement. I cannot choose between similar pads from a note that only says worn on one side.
