Universal Robots UR5e reach looks fine until I include the clamps

We're planning reviewing torch access for fabricated brackets with Universal Robots UR5e on a fabricated mounting bracket in a small fabrication workshop. The reach sketch includes every seam, but the torch is just a line. The actual torch body and fixture clamps make inside-corner access look doubtful. This is offline only, with no live welding trials. What should I ask our integrator to include?

@FarahBell0678 Start with complete torch and clamp geometry, paired with the welding engineer's required joint access. Are those available for the integrator's offline comparison?

My available files include the complete torch drawing and clamp model, but the layout pack contains no process orientation requirements. Its assessment currently addresses reach alone.

Have the welding engineer specify the required orientations, then include the actual torch assembly in the offline model. That creates a basis for assessing clearance.
