Request the quoted gripper and adapter with the blank held. Include the machine opening, open door and fixture. The designer also needs the proposed approach and withdrawal.
Can't select the FR5 from this point-only unloading sketch

Quoted tool is still provisional. We have the adapter drawing, but the finger length is awaiting the toolmaker. Door shown shut in the only machine model.
19 pointsThen get the actual door positions measured. No point polishing a robot layout around a door that isn't where the job needs it
10 pointsMachine supplier is supplying the open-door details. Toolmaker offered a maximum proposed tool envelope while the fingers are being designed. Useful for screening, I think.
1 pointsUseful while it is clearly provisional. Put the envelope revision beside any comparison, so purchasing does not carry a screening result into the final order.
18 pointsInclude the setter's access too. The arm is not the only thing going through that opening.
21 pointsYes. Ours nearly left a fixture change needing access through the proposed base. Lovely unloading route, impossible ordinary maintenance. Ask the setter to walk through the drawing before the base becomes sacred.
21 pointsGabriel, did moving the base solve yours or did the tool have to change too?
7 pointsWe didn't reach a final arrangement in that review. Got the toolmaker involved and stopped the base decision. Still waiting on the revised combination, so I can't offer a magic new position.
12 pointsOur setter marked the fixture removal route. It crosses the first base location. Designer is comparing another location, with the open door now included.
18 pointsCan the setter still reach the fixings there, not just move the fixture past it?
16 pointsThat is being checked. Moving the base clears the removal route on paper, but I have not called the service access acceptable yet.
1 pointsAsk the toolmaker to confirm whether the provisional envelope still covers the latest design. Several drawing changes can happen while everyone is discussing the base.
21 pointsIt does not. Latest fingers extend beyond the first envelope. Thank you for that check, Sara. Both candidate locations are going back through the access review.
12 pointsThat's frustrating, but at least the base isn't installed. Do they now have one agreed drawing set, or are revisions still arriving separately?
