FR5 vacuum tooling: move the generator off the wrist?

Page 19 of Schmalz's September 2024 FQE manual, with tool weights, centre-of-gravity diagrams and the UR-flange qualification
FQE-Xc table includes a UR flange. These are not confirmed weights or compatibility claims for a Fairino-mounted assembly. Manual extract: Schmalz, revision 05, September 2024, page 19. Published 2024-09. Source

Looking at an FQE arrangement for a small handling trial. The manual distinguishes external-vacuum M versions from the Xb/Xc ejector versions. I'm weighing up less hardware on the wrist against the hose route and response I then have to account for. Anyone else start with an off-robot supply in mind and change direction once they drew the cell?

The hose gets a route on my drawing, not a note saying 'hose to suit'. Otherwise it turns up at the end and goes wherever there's room.

I'd mock up the whole travel with a hose before committing to the bracket. A tidy home position can hide an awkward bend at the far end.

Yes. I also want grip confirmation and timeout behaviour defined at the tool, not an assumption that switching the supply on means a box is attached.

ah, so moving the pump isn't a free payload upgrade. You're moving a design problem as well.
