The FR5 blank clears the door because its gripper is missing

Our mill sketch gives the steel blank plenty of room, provided it travels without fingers or a gripper body; I need the complete assembly checked before this FR5 position becomes a purchase decision.

I've got an adapter dispute where the connection points into the fixture, so don't stop at adding the metal body. Get the actual connection direction and lines in there too. A blank floating through a doorway is the easy version of the job.

Thanks, Hazel. Supplier has a proposed assembly drawing; our machine contact supplied only the closed-door model. We need the open position from them.

Can the machine contact identify the exact door arrangement fitted? We had a borrowed model with the right machine name and the wrong handle. It was a surprisingly convincing distraction.

They checked the fitted door. Correct body model, missing its pull handle and opening stop; those are being added to the assembly.

Please get the setter into this before fixing the stand position. I'm less worried about a beautiful narrow route than the person who still has to take the fixture out when the job changes.

Nadia, yes. We once had clearance for the installed fixture but no way to bring its lifting aid alongside. That got found before installation, thankfully. The first review had treated maintenance as somebody being able to stand nearby. Amy, show the setter the actual removal task and where the removed fixture goes. They may spot a problem without anyone needing to build a stand to discover it.

Fiona's last point is the bit I'd start with. Is there a fixed parking place for your fixture trolley, Amy?

Yes, beside the door opening. The proposed stand occupies part of it. Setter has rejected that position even before the completed clearance review.

That saves everyone polishing the wrong option. Can the supplier consider another position while keeping the trolley space marked in the model?

Jamie, maybe, but I'd keep manual unloading as a priced option too. Amy shouldn't have to redesign the whole bay just because one robot position has already acquired a drawing number.

Any answer on another position, Amy?

One proposed beside the rear column, not reviewed yet. Nadia, manual unloading remains in the cost comparison. No stand position selected or ordered.
