How do I make this robot support ticket actionable?

Does our machine-tending layout actually fit the complete tool? (Fairino FR5)

Universal Robots UR5e reach looks fine until I include the clamps

Before I accept a layout with a simplified torch model (Fairino FR5)

The panel seal report never counts the sheets

I cannot fit the UR5e tooling from an equivalence message alone

Support wants more than my FR5 stop video, but has not said what

What should we measure before choosing Fairino FR5? (finished blank removal)

FR5 diagnostic timeout with no usable record of the working laptop
