Our anodised sleeves leave the bench trial with visible bands where the proposed UR5e fingers contact them. One person calls them rejectable marks, another says they wipe away. Supplier offers softer pads. I want an agreed appearance check and a proper holding-and-release comparison before buying a material that merely looks kinder.
Have quality identify the affected sleeves and agree the appearance method first, with incoming condition recorded; compare any proposed pad assembly through holding and release, not only by how soft its loose sample feels.
Quality found removable residue on one sleeve and an actual finish change on another. The old single label marks hid both. We now have separate identified examples and the incoming check; tooling is comparing the complete pad proposal against those requirements.
Has that comparison included the receiving tray release yet, Aaron? A better-looking contact test still leaves the handling part of your choice unanswered.
