Got measured outlines for the opening and gripper? An offline layout might catch what the reach circle misses.
11 pointsChecked them. The approach clips the handle; the workpiece clears. No wonder my first sketch looked so reassuring.
13 pointsUse that measured layout to review the complete approach and retreat offline. Include the tool, cables and service access, then ask the integrator to assess a revised mounting arrangement.
6 points@MeiBennett0777 Our buyer says go bigger. Does that help, or just buy the same problem in a larger arm?
0 pointsA larger arm should give you more mounting freedom, so that could be the easiest route to investigate.
8 pointsBigger could bring another obstruction. Extra reach won't shrink the gripper past that handle.
4 points@SamAli0246 Yes, I made that sound more certain than it's. Compare candidate geometry in the measured layout; a larger arm is only useful if the complete approach improves.
8 points@MeiBennett0777 We had a different machine application where a good transfer layout put the pedestal across a service panel. Maintenance spotted the catch immediately
