A housing weight where the whole tool calculation should be

I need both FR10 tooling quotes to cover what we'll actually fit. One lists the motor housing weight and the other has copied it. Neither includes the long fingers, adapter or fittings, yet both say suitable. What should I send back before this turns into our problem?

Ask for the complete loaded assembly details and its centre of gravity, with the intended motion reviewed against the manufacturer's limits. Part weight alone leaves too much out.

Thanks Omar, one supplier has sent a full assembly sheet now. The other says they'll choose an adapter after we order, which leaves me comparing a design with a promise.

And that adapter could change the tool position. I would keep their suitability answer provisional until they identify what they intend to supply.
