Puck tipping toward one FR5 finger

Our FR5 puck pickup now leans toward the fixed finger, another pickup edit made it look better for a while but the same lean returns; I have stopped the edits because nobody can explain why the old position stopped working.

Use the same identified puck for a few comparisons before buying parts. Or rather, keep both the puck and its tray pocket identified; changing both makes a very cheap test surprisingly expensive to interpret.

When does it first lean? Before the fingers close?

Rick, looks square before closing in the clip but the rear is hidden, so that is not much of an answer yet.

Look at the rear. Don't measure the shadow.

We chased a similar lean through the tray once. Worn contact on one finger, in our case. A photograph straight down made the part look seated because you couldn't see the little lift at the back.

Lin, did it follow the finger across different pockets?

Yes. That's what finally got us off the tray theory. Harish hasn't shown that pattern here, though, so I wouldn't send him shopping for our fault.

Agreed. Existing video may already show whether the lean favours a direction or a particular pocket. Worth looking before organising another trial.

The clips show three pockets and the lean is toward the fixed finger in all three; maintenance also found a loose pad screw during inspection, pad and contact face now being checked.

Were those clips all after the same pickup edit?

Yes, same edit, not three independent setups; I should have said that.

That still gives maintenance a useful direction to investigate. The edited setup will need reviewing with the pad repair, otherwise the adjustment made around the loose pad stays in the comparison.

Who is covering this while maintenance has the tool, Harish? We've lost more time to nobody owning the restart than to the actual pad replacement.
