Cannot choose the FR10 base while its tool outline is provisional

I still favour checking the setter's space early. On our brass-blank proposal I've done that first, and one base position is plainly awkward. The other has only a grip-point sketch. What can we honestly conclude before the complete tool drawing arrives?

Reject the demonstrated obstruction. Keep the other position provisional, not automatically acceptable.

You can also get the actual open-door geometry now. Waiting for final fingers doesn't stop you measuring the machine, and it might expose another obvious clash before somebody spends time refining the wrong approach.

Door is measured, including the inner handle. The missing bit is the loaded tool assembly. Thanks, Daniel; eliminating one bad position is not approval of the other.

Does the provisional tool include its adapter, or only the gripper body?

Neither, Gabriel. Only the blank and a line to the wrist. My phrase tool outline was too generous.

Then don't assign it clearance margins yet. You know where the machine and setter are, but not the thing trying to pass between them.

Who is supplying the assembly drawing?

Toolmaker, through the integrator. They have a proposed gripper but are still choosing the finger arrangement.

Can they show the candidate fingers against the measured opening before finalising them?

That is the useful iteration. Tooling and layout have to inform each other, not wait politely for the other drawing to become final. Just keep the candidate status visible.

Include loaded entry and empty withdrawal in that comparison, not only the gripping position.
