Can this reach sketch support an arm choice? (machine fixture loading)

Our proposed use for Fairino FR5 is machine fixture loading with a cylindrical aluminum blank in a compact machining workshop, with 27 planned. The reach sketch suggests the fixture is accessible, but it includes neither the gripper body nor the open machine door. I need a fuller access check to inform our choice of arm.

@NaomiAli0245 Got measured outlines for the opening and gripper? An offline layout might catch what the reach circle misses.

After comparing the outlines, I found that the proposed approach overlaps the door handle even though the workpiece itself clears. That explains the misleadingly comfortable result in my initial sketch.
