Our FR5 tray loading keeps needing point adjustments. The aluminum puck sits less squarely in the grip. Tray appears unchanged. I'd like to stop accumulating corrections without an explanation.
Look at the contact surfaces and how the puck sits in the tray before blaming repeatability. When you say less square, do you mean tilted in the fingers or rotated relative to the tray?
That is a more useful observation than the point changes. Can your maintenance person compare the fitted contact pieces with the intended pair, including wear and seating? Under your normal safe inspection procedure, not reaching into a moving station
Agreed. Uneven marks could follow the tilt rather than cause it. Are the old photographs from the same puck and tray position, or could you be comparing different conditions?
It is still a useful lead. I would give maintenance the photographs with their positions identified, plus the point-change history. Let them decide the next comparison instead of adding another offset to hide the symptom
