Enough reach, incomplete drawing (Fairino FR10)

We're considering Fairino FR10 for machining fixture exchange with a rectangular polymer blank in an enclosed machining cell, with 19 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.

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

@AdaBrooks0825 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.

Our buyer says go bigger. Does that help, or just buy the same problem in a larger arm?

@AdaBrooks0825 Going larger should open up mounting options. It might be the most straightforward option to explore.

@VictorAdams0098 Bigger could bring another obstruction. Extra reach won't shrink the gripper past that handle.

You're right; more mounting freedom isn't guaranteed. Check each candidate in the measured layout and only favour a larger arm if its full approach works better.

I still can't establish a usable approach for the complete tool. Purchase is on hold until access is settled.

That's a clear reason to keep the decision open: the required approach hasn't been established.
