Fairino FR10: Where would you start with gradual pickup drift?

We keep nudging pickup points when our Fairino FR10 setup gets unreliable at tray-to-fixture transfer 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?

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?

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.

@MiaBell0644 Keep a copy of the current configuration and hold off on further coordinate changes. Under the appropriate isolation procedure, maintenance can use the observed rotation to focus inspection on tooling contact, mounting and tray seating.

@LiamChan1099 The maintenance notes show contact pads were replaced before the first point adjustment. That's the first useful clue I've found in the history.

The timing suggests the replacement is responsible. I'd check whether the pads were installed in the specified configuration.

@LiamChan1099 Timing isn't enough to call it the cause. Check the pads, yes, but don't let one maintenance entry explain away fixture variation.

@JamieChan1078 You're right; the history supports a check, not a conclusion. Inspect the pad installation and gripping surfaces while retaining tray location in the investigation.

On my own setup, we found worn contact surfaces and inconsistent tray seating together. Fixing only the pickup point made the symptoms move around.

How did you keep those two effects apart? Ours already has enough point edits to make the history messy.

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.

@ZaraChan1091 Would restoring the initial taught positions be appropriate after inspecting the tool, or might those positions no longer correspond to the actual setup?
