We're considering Fairino FR5 for machine fixture loading with a cylindrical aluminum blank in a production cell beside an enclosed mill, with 180 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.
Can you compare measured door geometry with the proposed gripper envelope? An offline layout including both may expose access issues that the reach sketch doesn't represent.
@RebeccaAbbott0082 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.
A different arm geometry may introduce its own clearance problems. Increasing reach doesn't establish that the proposed tool can pass the existing handle obstruction.
Yes, I made that sound more certain than it's. Compare candidate geometry in the measured layout; a larger arm is only useful if the complete approach improves.
@VictorChan1055 We had a different machine application where a good transfer layout put the pedestal across a service panel. Maintenance spotted the catch immediately.
A removable base adds relocation and installation checks to the work. Have the integrator weigh that against keeping normal service access clear in the layout.
@RebeccaAbbott0082 Yes, model the entry direction and retreat requirements as constraints. Reaching the final point doesn't establish that the full tool can approach it usefully.
The information available hasn't established that the complete tool can approach the fixture usefully. I'm keeping the purchase on hold while that question remains open.
