Does our machine-tending layout actually fit the complete tool? (Fairino FR5)

We're considering Fairino FR5 for machine fixture loading with a machined brass blank in a production cell beside an enclosed mill, with 167 planned. The sketch reaches the fixture. Trouble is, we left out the gripper body and open door. I'd like to check access properly before choosing an arm.

@LeoChan1058 Got measured outlines for the opening and gripper? An offline layout might catch what the reach circle misses.

@HazelBrooks0832 Checked them. The approach clips the handle; the workpiece clears. No wonder my first sketch looked so reassuring.

@LeoChan1058 Start from those measurements and review approach and withdrawal offline with the full tool, cables and maintenance access included. A revised mount then needs the integrator's assessment.

Measured access review first, then an arm decision. I've settled on that route; choosing the arm depends on a workable full-tool layout and qualified assessment.

Using an assessed layout as the condition gives the selection a clear basis beyond the reach sketch.
