Obtain the actual machine-door envelope and the proposed tool assembly, including the held blank, open fingers and connections, then ask for approach and withdrawal to be reviewed in that geometry.
2 pointsWould the toolmaker's dimensioned drawing be enough to start, even though the tool isn't built?
17 pointsEnough to start a clearly provisional layout study, provided it includes all the assembly states you need; it cannot establish the performance of an unbuilt tool or approve the eventual application.
6 pointsThe drawing has arrived and the proposed loaded withdrawal overlaps the door handle, so I've asked the designer to compare orientations before we settle the arm position.
11 pointsInclude the permitted door position and the machine's operational constraints in that comparison, so the solution does not depend on an opening the real installation cannot use.
9 pointsThanks for that, Chloe; the machine owner is now checking the assumed door position, and I haven't selected either orientation or the arm yet.
7 pointsKeep the unloaded approach in the study too, since changing orientation to clear the loaded exit can introduce another obstruction before the grip.
