Ask for a surveyed opening and door with the complete held-blank assembly through withdrawal, plus the setter's actual access. Have the integrator combine those inputs rather than treating the toolmaker's drawing and machine survey as separate approvals.
Cannot choose our FR10 unloading position from a bare brass blank

Toolmaker has two adapter options. The machine owner can supply the survey. I have asked the integrator to identify what each tool option changes rather than merge them into one envelope.
12 pointsDoes either adapter option actually include the fittings, Andrew, or is the quoted assembly shorter because its connections aren't drawn?
18 pointsOne includes fittings. The other says supplied separately, without showing where. That is now an explicit missing input.
17 pointsOur setter once pointed out that the tool drawing occupied the space used to turn the fixture trolley. The robot route was still being discussed, but that ordinary task already ruled out the position. I'd bring your setter into the current comparison while the fittings are being defined, not after. They don't need a finished robot model to explain how the fixture comes out, where they stand and what else they need to reach. Those observations can shape the candidate rather than become objections to something already bought.
6 pointsKeep the unfinished fitting arrangement beside the provisional price; the cheaper total should not silently inherit the other supplier's more complete assembly.
6 pointsBeth's timing point is useful. The people and the tool compete for the same area, so record the required tasks now even if their final arrangement is still under review.
8 pointsSetter has marked the trolley turn. It overlaps the first proposed stand, while a side position still needs checking. The tool options and actual door survey remain with the integrator.
14 pointsDoes the side position obstruct a service panel? It's worth looking before calling it the obvious answer.
8 pointsOne cabinet opens into that area. Maintenance has added its access to the comparison. No position accepted.
3 pointsThen the next paid deliverable should say which combined options remain feasible and what is still unknown, not quietly turn the side position into an installation line.
1 pointsAgreed. The enquiry asks for that bounded comparison with assembly assumptions and access conflicts. Fabrication is not authorised; we still have a review to complete.
