Installed geometry first. Tool assembly, blank orientation, door at its actual operating position. Put the unknown dimensions on the drawing instead of quietly borrowing them from a catalogue picture.
FR5 access decision missing the open door and loaded gripper

The machine drawing is generic. The gripper quote specifies a body but leaves the fingers to application design, so neither side presently defines the opening clearance.
17 pointsCan the machine lead measure the door condition before the toolmaker fixes the fingers?
23 pointsThat ordering makes sense. Although the final check still needs both; an opening measurement alone cannot establish the loaded route.
4 pointsAnd I would involve the setter while access is being defined, because a robot that fits the cycle can still occupy the place needed for clearing or changing the fixture.
20 pointsPavel, include the park position in that discussion. We have all seen a beautiful cycle view with the inconvenient people missing.
2 pointsDoes the setter currently remove the fixture from the front?
8 pointsOr use the side for tools? I do not know Naomi's machine, so I would avoid drawing their access from ours.
21 pointsFront removal, Priya. Side access is for service, Anil, not our normal fixture change. Both are on the survey request, with the machine lead supplying the door and fixture geometry.
10 pointsWho is combining the toolmaker's assembly and the machine survey into one review, rather than leaving you to discover the mismatch after two separate approvals?
22 pointsOur integrator owns the combined review. The setter is reviewing the fixture-change condition separately from the automatic sequence, against that same layout.
13 pointsAsk for intermediate positions too. Not a picture at the pickup and another outside the machine with the unpleasant journey between them left to your imagination.
7 pointsCombined model is back. With the surveyed door position, the proposed gripper body intersects the door edge during loaded withdrawal. The pickup pose itself clears, which explains why the original sketch looked convincing.
6 pointsHave they proposed a different tool or a different robot position?
4 pointsA shorter adapter is proposed. It is not selected; the toolmaker must confirm the assembly and the integrator must reassess the complete approach and exit.
16 pointsI would keep the rejected assembly reference in the purchasing file, so its apparently complete quote does not survive after its route has failed.
12 pointsDoes shorter leave enough access to the tool connections? A dimensional saving could move the awkward bit somewhere else.
6 pointsAnd the load assessment belongs to the revised assembly. Shorter is a proposal, not a substitute for the toolmaker's actual design information.
22 pointsBoth questions remain on the revised-assembly review. We have ruled out the quoted arrangement, not established that the FR5 cannot do the job. No arm selection yet.
