Are our FR5 sleeve marks new, and do they actually fail inspection?

Only photographed at the end. Incoming sleeves were not individually checked. Quality is defining the appearance method.

Start with identified sleeves and comparable views under that method. Keep their physical orientation recognisable too. A rotated cylinder can put a reflection where the next person thinks a new band appeared.

Can the person loading show you the sleeve before it touches the guide? I've seen a loading contact blamed on the gripper because nobody looked until after the lift.

And don't turn every visible band into a reject before quality decides; the lesson should distinguish a new mark from an unacceptable one.

Have the normal inspector and the covering person try the agreed method on the same references. I don't mean ask them to vote on the drawing requirement, just see whether the written viewing arrangement gives them the same useful information.

I'd hold the pad order until Gabriel knows where the mark starts; otherwise every shiny surface problem becomes another spare to keep track of.

Does the current tool have an identified replacement contact set in the maintenance list?

Yes, Naomi, and Jess, fitted contacts match that reference. Quality's comparison found a new unacceptable line immediately after manual loading against the guide, before the grip closes.

Have tooling examine that guide contact, since the new line already exists before any proposed pad could prevent it.

Keep the accepted incoming sleeve and its marked after-loading view together in the handover example. It gives the operator a concrete reason for the guide check, rather than another instruction saying handle carefully.

Would you still compare the soft pads later, Gabriel, or is there no separate grip mark left to answer? I'm not arguing for buying them just because they were offered.

Jack, I'd keep the proposal available but unselected. Gabriel can stop a needless order without deciding that the present pads are perfect for every condition forever.

Tooling found a damaged edge on the loading guide and repaired it to its drawing. Existing pads retained for the agreed full handling comparison. Soft-pad purchase paused.

Did the full comparison stay clean through the receiving release too?

Yes. Identified sleeves passed quality's before-and-after method through normal loading, grip and receiving release. Cover repeated the loading check. Guide repair closed this marking issue; no pad change needed. Thanks, Anita.

That gives the next operator something specific to watch. Has the repaired guide's inspection point also reached the maintenance handover, rather than living only in the appearance report?
