We're picking a gripper for Fairino FR10 to handle a coated round housing during moving cosmetic components between nests in a precision finishing workshop. Our bench samples have marks on the visible cylindrical surface.
The supplier says softer pads; we haven't even agreed how to judge the marks. I need holding and release covered too.
@CalebAdams0145 Can you get the customer's appearance criteria and mark the cosmetic areas on the drawing? Those would give your pad comparison a useful starting point.
The exterior cylinder is labelled visible on the drawing. We've only got phone photos in workshop lighting, with no link to the customer's viewing procedure.
@CalebAdams0145 Request that procedure and compare handled samples with untouched references under it. A softer pad is worth including as a candidate to reduce marking.
I've settled how to compare the contacts: use the customer's appearance method and assess handling alongside it. That's enough to move the selection review forward, with the final gripper choice still conditional on the results.
