Our FR10 proposal loads polymer blanks into a mill, and both suggested stand positions seem awkward for the person changing fixtures; one blocks the trolley and the other leaves a narrow route past the open door, so I'm trying to find out whether we need a different layout before the purchase gets signed off
At our first layout review the trolley was a rectangle without a handle, which made the available space look generous. Put the actual trolley outline and the fixture-change sequence into both views before rejecting either position.
Then include a third arrangement with the rack moved. I would not discard the standard layout merely because it is standard, but its convenience for the supplier should not determine your fixture-change route.
Include how the fixture is disconnected and carried, not only the trolley movement. The people doing that work should review the arrangement, because reaching a connection behind the stand can be a bigger nuisance than moving a rack.
Rack movement can affect replenishment too. I would ask whoever fills it where they would put it, rather than leave that as someone else's problem after the robot layout is chosen.
The body is selected but the fingers aren't, so I've asked for a provisional loaded outline with the uncertainty marked instead of another tidy reach circle
That gives you something useful to discuss. Keep the fixture-changing view alongside it; I have seen an access improvement for the arm quietly remove the clearance that maintenance had just requested.
Did the stores operator also have room to replenish it in that orientation? I meant to ask about the actual approach, not simply which way the rack faces.
