Which FR10 tool state belongs in our mill-loading clearance check?

Loaded blank clears the opening in our sketch. Open gripper missing. What should the empty withdrawal show?

Show the complete open tool after release, with adapter, fittings and connected lines, against the actual fixture and open door through the whole withdrawal.

Is the door measured or borrowed from a brochure?

And is the release position actually defined, because an empty tool has to start somewhere before that attractive exit arrow means anything?

Door measured. Release position defined. Tool supplier's model only shows closed fingers; open state requested.

Then keep that missing state as the outstanding input. Don't reuse the closed outline for the return because it happens to fit. The gripper designer should supply the actual required opening.

Oliver's release-position question matters even with the right opening. The assembly needs showing there and along withdrawal, not only in an isolated tool drawing.

Open assembly arrived. Integrator's first combined view shows one finger overlapping the door during withdrawal.

Is the base position already fixed?

Worth asking before everyone redesigns a tool to preserve a dot nobody has bought yet, though another base position still needs the setter's access included

Not fixed. Workshop lead allows one side-position comparison. Setter's fixture-removal route stays.

Good boundary. Keep the fixture handling equipment in that side-position view, not just an outline of where a person stands.

Does the proposed side position change the loaded approach as well as empty withdrawal? Both belong in the same comparison.

Both change. Integrator is comparing the complete loading route, release and withdrawal at that position.

Same tool and grip arrangement?

Same identified assembly and held-blank geometry. No tool redesign in this option.

Then keep it described that way in the enquiry, because a side-position option and an unnamed shorter-tool option can become one very confusing quote

No shorter tool has been proposed here, Oliver. The useful outstanding comparison is the side position Cecilia actually has permission to investigate.

Yes, hypothetical on my part; Cecilia's right to keep this as the same assembly at another position

Side-position drawing clears loading and withdrawal. Setter hasn't checked fixture removal on that revision yet.

Have the setter review that actual revision with the handling aid and fixing access. Keep the position unapproved until that part of the job is answered.
