Fairino FR5: Which drawings would connect carton support with gripper access?

I'm reviewing an alternating layer pattern for our planned palletising sealed product cartons with Fairino FR5 in a small finished-goods dispatch area. Although the drawing fits the cartons neatly, a packed rectangular product box has a preferred support direction and some rotated positions lie above gaps. I'd like a joint review of packaging support and tool access before accepting it.

@RosaBrown0901 Start by showing the carton edges that carry load and the pallet deck support on the layer drawings. Is the complete gripper outline available to overlay as well?

We've only got top-view rectangles and a tool centre mark. The carton note specifies support direction, but the layer drawing doesn't show it.

Build that combined drawing for packaging and your integrator. Include a repeated, unrotated layer as a simpler candidate; it may suit the support direction better

The repeated arrangement remains a candidate, not an accepted solution. Its support and load stability still need assessment for the cartons with their actual contents.

Agreed; I meant a comparison option. Packaging must assess both arrangements with the specified cartons and contents, including support and stability

I thought alternating layers always made a stronger stack. Is that too simple?

Too general. The arrangement changes where loads pass through the cartons. Your packaging reviewer needs the actual construction and support geometry to judge it

@GraceChen1190 The layer overlay shows carton edges above gaps below. That gives me something specific to mark for packaging instead of saying the pattern feels wrong.

I had a separate dispatch setup where the carton top view omitted the pallet's deck gaps. Including the deck geometry exposed additional positions for packaging assessment.

@JasperArcher0377 Did you tie the pattern to a pallet specification? Ours just says pallet size, which now seems a bit thin.

Include the deck geometry in the pattern's pallet reference. Matching overall dimensions don't establish identical support beneath the carton arrangement.

@RosaBrown0901 For access, show the whole tool beside neighbouring cartons at the corner placements. The centre mark won't reveal body or finger overlap

The tool outline overlaps the next carton at one corner in our offline layout. Lovely rectangles, inconvenient gripper. I'll flag that position for the integrator.

I'm holding the pattern decision. A neat footprint doesn't establish the packaging support and tool access our cell needs.

Understood. The footprint alone hasn't answered either requirement strongly enough to close your decision
