Put the unnamed configuration back to the reviewer. Needs an identified assembly before its result can belong to either quote; I wouldn't choose by which picture looks closest.
20 pointsAlso ask which one the installer expects to service. We once had two mechanically interchangeable bits with very different access once fitted; stores saw alternatives, the person doing the change saw a long afternoon.
8 pointsReviewer confirms the straight rear fitting was modelled, while the quote's default is the side fitting; purchasing has stopped describing the route as checked for the quoted tool.
12 pointsWhere does the straight fitting go when the fingers open?
2 pointsAnd who owns comparing the side fitting, Toby Carter, since the quote still includes it and somebody needs to return an actual answer rather than another optional drawing?
21 pointsOscar, the returned route includes opening and the empty return for the straight fitting; Toby Bell, our lead integrator owns the side comparison and the setter is checking access alongside it.
23 pointsThat answers the assembly confusion. Thomas's service point still matters even if the straight option clears the whole movement.
21 pointsHenry, yes. I'm not arguing the straight one fails, just that the person replacing it shouldn't discover the access problem after purchasing has congratulated itself.
21 pointsThe setter has flagged that the straight connection crowds the fixture-change opening; it is reachable for service, but the fixture cannot be withdrawn along its normal route with that arrangement in place.
9 pointsSo it unloads the blank and traps the fixture. Handy.
8 pointsKeep the fixture change in the comparison cost, unless the side arrangement avoids it; dismantling tooling may be possible but it is not free changeover time.
8 pointsI have asked for both candidates to include fixture change, not just the repeated unload; the side arrangement has not returned from review yet, so I cannot give it the win by elimination.
3 pointsFair enough. What does the setter call a normal fixture change here?
20 pointsThe fixture comes out onto its existing trolley through the open door, with its locating hardware left intact; that is the actual route now included in the two candidate models.
15 pointsSide arrangement came back clear for the assessed unload, opening, empty return and fixture change; setter and maintenance have completed their access review, and purchasing has selected that identified assembly with the result attached.
10 pointsIs the quote corrected too?
10 pointsYes, exact side-fitting assembly reference in the revised offer; thanks Oscar, I checked the offer before posting rather than assuming the drawing update had reached it.
1 pointsUseful outcome. The cheaper-looking straight option would have hidden fixture-change work in someone else's shift, even though its blank-removal route was clear.
