The cylindrical blank is drawn at the fixture and the FR10 reaches its centre. Neither the gripper body nor the open door appears. I need the loaded approach and open-tool withdrawal assessed before calling this a viable machine-loading layout.
The FR10 sketch reaches through space occupied by our open door

Has the toolmaker supplied a complete candidate assembly yet?

Yes, but the layout person only received its pickup point. We have sent the body, fingers, adapter and rear connections together.

Was the door surveyed in its normal working position? I would ask the machine owner to confirm that rather than assume the brochure opening is what the operator gets.

Machine owner supplied the working position. Combined view shows the rear connection colliding with the door edge. The supplier has withdrawn the current approach.

Any alternative besides pretending the connection is smaller?

They proposed another base position. It keeps the loaded approach clear but the open fingers still need checking near the fixture lip.

Has the setter seen that base position, Oscar? A surviving tool route can still leave the person with nowhere useful to stand during changeover.

The setter rejected it because it blocks the fixture-removal route. We are not choosing an arm from either of these arrangements. The supplier is deciding whether a different tool concept is worth another study.

Did they offer that study, or leave it there?
