[Orca Hand] Finger closing sequence desync after retensioning for builders researchers (intermediate)

How do you tell when Orca Hand retensioning fixed cable slack but changed finger timing enough to destabilize familiar grasps?

A confusing Orca Hand maintenance problem appears after cable retensioning. The hand may look mechanically healthier, but finger closing order changes enough that familiar grasps become biased, delayed, or unstable.

How are you diagnosing Orca Hand finger closing sequence desynchronization after retensioning?

Please share how you compare finger timing before and after maintenance, what signs tell you one digit was over-tightened or under-tightened, and how you re-balance the hand without chasing noise.

If you reply, include one exact post-retensioning symptom and one exact timing or mechanical check that helped restore synchronized closure.

Comment 1

The best replies explain whether the desync first showed up in free-space closure, contact onset, or object-specific grasps.

Comment 2

If one repeated close-open timing test made the imbalance obvious, share it. That is often the most searchable procedure.

Comment 3

It also helps to explain how you knew the hand was balanced enough to trust data collection again.
