our FR10 unload drawing has room for everything except the gripper

I can follow the polymer blank's line out of the mill, but not the tool holding it, because the tool isn't drawn. Open door barely there either. We're meant to compare an FR10 with another option from this. What would make the layout useful before the shortlist becomes a purchase?

Who owns combining the machine survey with the complete loaded-tool assembly? A collection of separate supplier drawings will not answer the access question.

Check the door position as well as the outline. I've seen a good machine model used with the door in the wrong position, which is a precise drawing of the wrong problem.

And show the actual grip depth. The blank's centre alone won't define its swept space.

Integrator owns the combined view now. Toolmaker owes the full assembly. Machine owner's survey is booked, and I've asked them to include the operating door position and inside handle.

Our proposed trolley turn overlapped the base once the setter looked at it. Include that route while the tool model is coming, unless your layout has no trolley to consider.

Julia, does the setter bring a changeover trolley, or carry individual tools? The required route depends on the actual task, not a standard standing-person symbol.

And don't park the trolley in the next aisle to make your drawing work.

Elliot, was a base shift practical on yours, or did you change the trolley route? I'd want both costs visible if either becomes a proposal here.

Shifted position under comparison, Reece. Not accepted yet. Service panel stays on the drawing too; it was remarkably easy to lose that rectangle in an earlier view.

Keep the changeover work in both robot comparisons. A shorter unload time won't compensate automatically for a fixture change that needs the whole bench cleared.

Henry, yes, but compare the actual changeover frequency too. I would show the separate tasks and their assumptions rather than hide a rare long change in one average cycle figure.

Eli, trolley used for jaw sets. Its route is now marked by the setter. Toolmaker has supplied the assembly with one fitting space still provisional; door survey is back. No complete route result yet.

Does that assembly include the held polymer blank at the proposed depth?

Aisha's frequency point would help maintenance too. We need to know which access is routine and which is occasional, even though both still need a workable arrangement.

Ada, yes, held position included. Original approach intersects the surveyed handle. Integrator is comparing a different orientation before proposing a base change. Thanks Elliot, the trolley route is already there to compare against.

Compare the return too. A different orientation can solve loaded exit and then leave the empty fingers in trouble on the way back. It's still one complete sequence to review.

Did the setter see that changed-orientation candidate, Julia, or are their access marks still attached only to the original one?
