Our FR10 spacer tilts while the tray itself stays put

I've stopped calling this tray movement. Side footage shows the spacer tilt as the fingers close, while the tray stays still. We've saved the pickup edits and paused further tweaks. What should maintenance compare before we teach another crooked pickup that happens to work?

Is the spacer sitting on its intended contacts before the fingers reach it, or merely looking square from your old camera angle?

The new side view shows it settled on the intended tray contacts before closure. Maintenance has the actual tray drawing and retained spacer. The tilt starts when the near finger touches

Can maintenance identify the fitted finger pair and compare their actual contact faces, including how they sit on the carriers? Matching outer labels won't show an uneven repaired face.

And keep the saved pickup changes tied to that physical setup. If tooling changes while controls keeps the latest compensation, you can make a sound repair look like another fault.

Both fingers have the intended references. One carrier has a thin spacer behind it that isn't in this assembly drawing. Maintenance is checking whether it belongs to another job before changing anything

Who fitted the spacer?

Cover technician retained it from the previous tool change, assuming it was part of the carrier. Stores records identify it with the other arrangement. Tooling is reviewing the correction with maintenance and controls

Then compare the complete fitted arrangement after the agreed correction, not just whether the fingers have the right names; that little inherited part has been changing where one contact face arrives

Does the cover technician have a clear way to tell those arrangements apart during changeover now? I'd rather answer that before the same spacer becomes a mysterious extra part in the drawer.

Tooling has supplied separate assembly views with the spacer identified only on the other job. Cover technician is reviewing them. We have a correction proposal, but no completed transfer check yet

Keep that last distinction in the shift note. The cause looks well supported, but the combined tool and pickup setup still needs its return check before anyone celebrates by loading the next batch.
