I cannot compare FR10 prices while the packing-cell scope keeps growing

Installed UR5e cable present, promised spare cable still absent

The refurbished FR10 price is clear; its inspection scope is not

Softer collar pads, but what finish are we agreeing to accept?

95 FR5 fixture kits ordered, fewer tool cables received

My UR5e enclosure proposal priced the hardware and guessed our effort

How do I get the agreed UR5e housing transfer into the pre-shipment evidence?

Can't identify the gripper contact pads in the seller's video (Fairino FR5)
