Turned cartons bridging our lower-layer gaps

The alternating FR10 pallet drawing leaves some filled cartons bridging gaps under their required support areas. I have the packaging support sketch beside it. Before we buy tooling, I need packaging and the integrator looking at the same actual stack.

Show the filled-carton construction and support areas over the layer below, including the positions before the layer is complete. The final picture can hide a problem encountered while building it.

Does packaging require that support throughout building, or only after the layer is complete?

Throughout. Packaging has rejected the turned positions shown. They want a straight-layer comparison using these same filled cases, not an empty carton mock-up

Ask how that straight arrangement would be finished and taken away as well. A pattern can be buildable and still create an awkward extra job for the person securing and moving the load.

Victor, yes, and the changed arrangement needs its own stability assessment. We should not assume removing the turned positions leaves an acceptable stack simply because its local support looks better.

Does the straight option leave enough room for the tool to withdraw?

Not on the integrator's first route. The complete gripper overlaps the adjacent filled case during withdrawal. They've proposed changing the placement order, with packaging checking the intermediate arrangement too

That is where a shared sequence helps. Number the placements on the packaging view so the integrator doesn't solve access using an order the packaging reviewer never saw.

Both now use the same placement order. Packaging accepts the reviewed straight arrangement for the proposed handling, and the integrator's complete-tool access comparison clears it. Representative physical trial and the operator's finishing work are still to check

Will that trial include the ordinary short pallet, not just a full one?
