We keep nudging pickup points when our Fairino FR10 setup gets unreliable at tray unloading with a machined aluminum puck 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?
Reviewing the recording, I can see consistent seating in the checked fixture before pickup. The workpiece changes angle during gripping rather than arriving in that position
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
Agreed, I called it too early. Treat the replacement as a lead; verify installation and contact condition alongside tray location before assigning the cause
My separate handling setup had both worn gripping surfaces and variation in tray seating. Coordinate corrections alone gave inconsistent results because they didn't address either underlying condition.
@JuliaAli0239 We kept a known reference configuration and had maintenance check one condition at a time. We didn't roll back points blindly after finding wear.
Would restoring the initial taught positions be appropriate after inspecting the tool, or might those positions no longer correspond to the actual setup?
Only if they match the verified setup. Tooling, frames or presentation may have changed; your responsible technician should compare the configuration before any supervised validation
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
