Add the measured open door and the complete loaded tool, then follow the whole approach and exit rather than joining the base to the pickup point with a line
Why does the FR5 access drawing end at our brass blank?

The toolmaker has a gripper body drawing but the adapter and hose fittings are still being chosen; can this review start before those are final?
23 pointsYes, as a preliminary comparison with the uncertain dimensions marked. It can reject a cramped position. It cannot approve the final installation while parts of the tool are still missing.
17 pointsUnderstood; I have asked for two candidate positions with those uncertainties shown, not a released stand drawing.
14 pointsHas someone measured the actual open door, including its handle?
18 pointsDo either of the proposed positions obstruct the machine service panel? Its removal space matters too, not only the front face shown in a plan view.
19 pointsChloe, the fitter has now measured the door and handle; Reece, the second position is beside the service panel, so its removal space is on the review list.
21 pointsWe saved reach on one layout and paid for it every time maintenance brought a trolley in. Include where the tools and removed parts actually go during service.
18 pointsLoaded withdrawal and empty return both included?
23 pointsShow how the blank is held at each stage as well. A drawing of the gripper beside a separate blank leaves the toolmaker and integrator free to imagine different grip depths, even if both drawings are individually accurate.
19 pointsTheo, both routes are requested; Imran, toolmaker and integrator now have the same held-blank drawing, although the fittings remain provisional.
16 pointsThat is enough to keep comparing, with the provisional fittings visible. Has either base position already failed on the measured door or service space?
10 pointsThe second position blocks panel removal, while the first needs a different loaded exit around the door; neither is ready to approve.
20 pointsCould the first position keep decent service access if that exit can be solved? I'd rather spend drawing time there than pretend the panel will never come off.
3 pointsYes, maintenance prefers the first position for access, and the integrator is reviewing its exit with the complete proposed tool before we commit to it.
10 pointsThanks, Reece, for the panel question; it removed an option that the reach sketch made look very attractive.
11 pointsPost the exit result when the fittings are settled.
