What should I check before another UR5e pickup edit?

Our polymer housing looks less square in the gripper after each round of pickup tweaks. Tray seems unchanged. I want maintenance to inspect the contacts before the next edit. Where would you start?

Start with how the housing sits before the fingers close, then compare the fitted contacts and mounting with the intended assembly. Preserve the current job and reasons for its edits. You need to know whether the crookedness begins in the tray or at the tool.

Housing is square before closure. Maintenance found one replacement contact strip seated on trapped debris. The strip was proud at one end. They are restoring the specified assembly.

And controls should review the pickup edits against that restored assembly, not choose whichever old job happens to look simplest.

Debris removed, strip seated correctly and mounting checked. Integrator reviewed the accumulated edits. The identified housing samples now transfer through release without the skew in the supervised checks. Thanks for asking when the tilt begins.

Put the seating check on the strip-replacement instruction. Otherwise the next spare could arrive with the same invisible extra packing underneath.
