Measure the manual job first. Include preparation and clearing, so the robot trial starts and ends at the same points.

Cannot agree our UR5e pilot while fixture labour is a guess

Have timings for placing the housing only. Getting them from boxes and changing the fixture were outside the stopwatch. Convenient for my proposal.
12分What fixture are you actually proposing to build?
8分One nest for the current housing. No interchangeable inserts planned yet. Toolroom has seen the part but hasn't quoted.
1分Get a simple nest concept priced before the robot demonstration. Otherwise a successful pickup can leave you committed to tooling whose cost you still don't know.
13分And agree which question the pilot answers. Or, more precisely, what result would change your colleague's mind and what result would change yours. Without both, the same footage may feed another argument.
5分He wants someone else to operate it without calling me. I want to see lower total hands-on time. Neither of us has written a threshold.
10分Write both down with him. The independent operator needs training time included, not just an invitation to watch the demo.
18分Who deals with a housing that doesn't seat?
15分Currently that would be me. Recovery is missing from the trial outline. I'll include the agreed escalation and assistance record.
18分Give the pilot a spending and staff-hour limit too. You can stop at that limit and decide whether the unanswered question deserves another trial, instead of silently extending this one.
12分Oscar, are these 202 a representative product mix, or just the easiest housing? That changes what you can infer even from a well-recorded result.
5分One current housing type. I won't claim a result for future variants. That's already one promise removed from the draft.
18分Then keep the trial nest simple. Future variants can get their own tooling decision.
23分Simple is fine. Still identify its drawing and contacts, so the person running it knows which setup was assessed.
8分Colleague and I agreed the trial scope and authority to stop. Tooling quote still outstanding. We haven't booked it or bought an arm.
0分Good place to wait. A toolroom price can change the decision without anyone needing to prove the robot incapable of moving a housing.
23分Will you record your own assistance time in the same way as everyone else's? Founder enthusiasm can be surprisingly hard to find on a cost sheet.
6分Yes, mine too. No founder here, just the person who volunteered everybody's hours. Thanks for making the support question measurable.
1分Post the fixture quote when you can compare it with that scope. Interested whether the pilot still looks worthwhile to both of you.
