Have either of them identified the actual assembly assessed, or have you only received a housing weight beside a robot name?
12 pointsGet the complete loaded mass, centre of gravity and inertia information against each drawing revision; the assessor needs the proposed motion too
18 pointsPlease include the fittings in those drawings, because stores will order the pictured assembly and the small extras have a way of arriving on a separate email.
9 pointsThe longer fingers may be doing a job the short set cannot. What is the nest access like? A lighter proposal that cannot release the housing is not much of a bargain.
17 pointsJonas, only the housing mass so far. Lucy, the long fingers reach past the nest wall. The shorter proposal shows a different nest insert which is not included in its price.
4 pointsThere's your price comparison gone sideways. I'd price the insert before arguing over which fingers look economical. Does either supplier own making that insert work?
16 pointsCan the short fingers withdraw after release, with that proposed insert fitted?
22 pointsAsk for both complete views first. That costs less than discovering the missing insert after ordering.
14 pointsKeep a housing in its intended inspection location in those views. Moving the insert to suit pickup can change what the inspection setup can see or reference, and whoever maintains that setup needs a say.
6 pointsWho owns acceptance of the changed inspection nest?
13 pointsZara Bell, price it yes, but Aaron still needs both loaded assemblies assessed; a complete quote can still contain an unsuitable tool
15 pointsAgreed. I was objecting to the missing cost, not giving the long one a free pass.
12 pointsOur inspection lead owns the nest change, Rosa. Both suppliers have now named their complete tool drawings. The short-finger supplier priced the insert but excluded inspection requalification.
15 pointsThanks for finding the owner. Ask that person what work the changed nest creates before you fill the excluded line with a guess.
10 pointsOwen, the short-tool view now shows withdrawal with its insert. Our inspection lead still needs to check the revised locating features. Purchasing has removed the apparent saving until that work is priced.
6 pointsAnd have the suppliers sent the loaded assembly information Mina asked for, or only the more complete drawings?
