Why did the open-tool state disappear from our FR10 loading comparison?

Our side-position FR10 comparison now has the surveyed machine and cylindrical aluminium blank, but the latest drawing shows the fingers closed all the way out after placement. I asked for the complete tool states. I need that empty withdrawal back in the assessment before purchasing treats the side position as selected.

Ask the integrator which finger state the empty withdrawal actually requires and have it represented through the connected route. Keep the tool assembly revision with the comparison, including fittings and line routing.

The supplier confirms the fingers must open at the fixture. Its model export contained only the closed configuration. They are sending the open state to the integrator.

That is a model omission worth correcting before any hardware change is suggested; the tool should first be drawn doing the job you already intend.

Does the open state include the adapter and rear connection in their installed positions? The finger change should not turn the rest of the assembly into a simplified outline.

Yes, same complete assembly revision. Open-state model is back and the outer finger conflicts with the fixture's side feature during the proposed withdrawal.

Is that side feature needed for the setter's work, or has tooling identified an alternative withdrawal to compare first? I wouldn't assume it is available to remove.

Agreed. A clash is an answer about this route, not permission to simplify the fixture until the picture turns green.

The feature is required. Integrator is comparing another withdrawal with the same fixture and tool, rather than changing the fixture. Setter has supplied the changeover route too.

Include the movement connecting placement to that withdrawal, not only the clear pose after it has somehow escaped.

And retain the loaded approach in the same version. It is easy to improve the empty route with a changed orientation that spoils how the blank entered.

Combined model clears the revised loaded approach and empty withdrawal. The setter's route remains usable. Maintenance has raised a rear-connection access issue at the proposed stand.

Does that require a stand change or only a service-access arrangement? Those are different comparisons and costs.

Not determined yet. Maintenance and the integrator are comparing access for the replacement task; no stand ordered.

Keep the tool-route result, though. You have solved a specific modelled clash even while the maintenance task keeps the complete layout provisional.

Has maintenance identified a workable arrangement since? Interested whether this candidate survives without another position change.
