The missing door in our FR5 brass-blank layout

Full gripper assembly, held blank and the door in its real open position. Has anyone measured that position on your machine, or borrowed a drawing from a similar one?
25pointsBorrowed drawing, and I found the door slides the other way on ours; the layout person hasn't visited the bay yet
-2pointsThat needs a survey before choosing the base position. Otherwise you're correcting the wrong machine, just with a more convincing gripper.
9pointsSurvey requested, with our setter there; I can supply the current tool assembly model now, including the finger extension that was left out
10pointsWhich tool revision? Extensions have a habit of changing between attachments.
8pointsOn our loading review, a simple full-size tool outline helped expose a blocked approach before detailed work. Yours could do the same once measured, although clearing that outline would not finish the route assessment.
19pointsRevision D, Imran, and I've checked the model and quote both name D; Jonas, did you include the fittings in your outline?
6pointsOur survey missed where the setter stood with the fixture trolley. Mark that space too. A robot layout can fit while the changeover no longer does.
9pointsYes, Jamie, including the fittings that stuck out beyond the body. We also marked the service routing as needing a separate check rather than pretending the rigid outline covered it.
2pointsThanks for the revision, Jamie. That gives the review a fixed starting point.
4pointsDid the survey happen? Interested whether the real door leaves any useful approach on that side.
25pointsSurvey done, door overlaps the loaded tool on the sketched approach; integrator has suggested rotating the base layout and wants our setter to check the alternative before detailing it
10pointsIs that alternative still on the same side of the machine?
12pointsAnd include maintenance in that check. On ours the tempting free space was where a cover had to slide out. Easy to miss when the cover is shut.
9pointsSame side but farther along, Robin; Emma, maintenance has marked the cover removal area on the survey, and the candidate position is clear of that area on paper
7pointsDoes the proposal include withdrawal with an empty tool as well as entry holding the blank? That was the awkward part of our earlier review, despite having less material on the way out.
7pointsPaper clearance sounds promising. Still need the whole route.
15pointsThe setter happy with that position, Jamie? Moving along the machine might leave the door clear and make fixture loading awkward for them.
25pointsSetter wants the trolley approach changed before agreeing; Jonas, the integrator's next review includes empty withdrawal, so I'm leaving the arm choice open until both questions are answered
6pointsPut the proposed trolley route on that same drawing. Separate sketches made our last access meeting unnecessarily exciting.
