I have asked for the complete held-tool outline before comparing our FR5 polymer-blank removal options, because the supplied sketch leaves both the gripper and door out; the extra question this time is whether the tool can turn to leave without occupying the setter's access
FR5 withdrawal space beside the mill door

A layout review I joined missed the setter's fixture trolley until the base position was nearly settled, so I would have the setter mark that access rather than let the supplier estimate it.

The setter has marked the trolley route and normal working space on the drawing, and the proposed turning position overlaps both; it is not merely close to the door.

Then that position needs reconsidering before you choose an arm; is there another proposed approach that the machine owner is willing to assess?

There is a side approach on the sketch, but its complete-tool withdrawal is missing, so I have put the choice back with the supplier and machine owner rather than nominate it myself
