Holding a rigid spacer block less squarely than before (Fairino FR10)

We keep nudging pickup points when our Fairino FR10 setup gets unreliable at tray loading with a rigid spacer block in a shared tray handling station. The tray looks like it's in the same place, but the grip seems less square. I'm suspicious of all these tweaks. What should I inspect before blaming the arm or reteaching everything?

@NathanBrown0895 Look at the relationship between the workpiece and fixture before contact, then during gripping. Can your existing observations show when the change in angle begins?

In the footage, it sits consistently in the checked fixture and turns during gripping. So the crooked position isn't there at the start.

Preserve the current settings and pause further nudges. Have maintenance inspect finger mounting, contact surfaces and tray seating under the proper isolation procedure, using that observation to guide the checks.

I've settled the inspection route: preserve the settings, stop nudging points and have maintenance check the grip and seating. Any restart of trials depends on that assessment; I haven't pinned this on the arm.

That answers the inspection-order question. Keeping the arm diagnosis open fits what your observation actually shows.
