Why is the FR10 pickup clear only with an invisible handwheel?

Our polymer-blank access sketch omits the gripper and the mill door handwheel. Why are we choosing an arm already?

Hold the choice. Get the machine survey and complete proposed tool envelope together.

Because a line reaching a point looks wonderfully conclusive in a sales meeting. Ask for the blank held in the fingers, not just the empty tool, and the door in its actual loading position.

Is the handwheel attached to the door or to the fixture?

Door, Daniel. It projects into the approach on the operator side.

Our handle was missing too. Photo looked flat; side view explained the problem.

Did the robot position change on yours, Owen?

Liam, I would also want the setter in this conversation before a new base position is offered. Moving the whole lot sideways often gets suggested as if the floor beside a mill were spare by definition.

Daniel Archer, no. Tooling changed. Different part and machine from this one though.

Agreed, Felix. A surveyed obstacle list should include the setter's working space.

We have a proposed side position too. Setter says that is their jaw-change space.

Then put that objection on the actual side-position drawing. Otherwise it becomes one person's vague preference and the next revision quietly occupies the same space again. I've watched that argument go round more than once.

Who owns the revised layout?

And do they have an outline of the loaded gripper yet?
