The FR5 tool model ends before the air fitting

Get the supplier's complete tool outline and the measured door details into one model. A tidy simplified scene is useful until its missing bits become the clearance everyone relies on
23pointsSupplier has an assembly drawing with the fitting. Machine fitter is measuring the handle and the actual open position. No base order placed.
16pointsInclude how the air line is routed from that fitting. The hard fitting may clear while the proposed hose route still has nowhere sensible to go
14pointsDrawing only shows the fitting so far. I have asked tooling to include the intended hose route and attachment points.
4pointsCan maintenance get to the fitting in that arrangement? It is a cheap item until replacing it means stripping the tool. Worth having them look while tooling is drawing the route.
24pointsAnd let the setter see the measured door outline. Ours once described a handle as a minor detail, then discovered it occupied exactly the space somebody used while changing the fixture. Minor was doing a lot of work in that sentence.
9pointsHas the combined model come back, Oscar? I'm interested whether the fitting changes the base decision or just the tool arrangement.
8pointsIt clashes on entry. Tooling proposes moving the fitting within a revised tool assembly. The integrator is also comparing another base position, so we have two options rather than an agreed fix.
3pointsDid maintenance review the relocated fitting? Clearing the door is only half of what I was asking about.
6pointsI wouldn't accept the other base just because it avoids changing the tool. Put both costs and the access checks side by side. Otherwise the easiest drawing change can become the workshop's permanent nuisance.
1pointsOscar, is the loaded exit included in both options? And Ben's service question is still a good one; the fitting won't politely wait for a convenient time to need attention.
9pointsBen, maintenance can reach the proposed fitting and has reviewed the line replacement route. Fiona, loaded exit is in both assessments, still pending. Setter has rejected the alternate base position for blocking the fixture trolley.
