Which complete FR5 tool states belong in our steel-blank exchange review?

Our FR5 exchange sketch reaches the fixture but omits the tool body and parked door. I need the full held assembly and route checked, with setter access retained rather than inferred.

Does your scope show both the loaded entry and what withdraws after release? I ask because an exchange picture often borrows a closed gripper for every stage, then nobody has actually drawn the open fingers beside the fixture.

The current scope says approach and return, without naming tool states. I've specified acquisition, loaded approach, release and withdrawal, alongside the complete assembly and measured door position.

Did that fuller review return anything useful, Will? Curious whether the limiting point was the door or the tool opening at the fixture, rather than reach itself.

It found the open fingers conflict with a fixture boss after placement. The door route is acceptable in the reviewed concept, but a changed finger proposal remains under tooling assessment; selection is still open.

Worth retaining that specific failed state with the drawing. The shorter-finger candidate will need its grip and loaded assembly assessed too, if that is what they propose; fixing withdrawal alone cannot settle the whole exchange.
