We're considering an FR10 to unload 98 cylindrical aluminium blanks. The reach sketch reaches the fixture, but it leaves out the complete gripper and open machine door. I want a fuller review before we choose, especially because the same bay still has to work for our setter.
What installed measurements support the sketch? Start by identifying the machine, fixture and parked-door geometry it actually represents. A reach line cannot make up for missing equipment.
Machine catalogue outline and our fixture drawing. Door omitted entirely. The integrator hasn't had an installed survey, so I can see why the sketch shouldn't carry an arm choice yet.
Can the tool supplier provide the complete proposed assembly with the blank held, including adapter, fingers and connections? I would want that geometry before deciding whether the obstruction belongs to the arm position or the tooling arrangement.
Amanda, who does the fixture change on this bay? I'd have them walk the opening with the surveyor. I've raised this on other layouts because the robot can inherit space the setter uses only briefly, but really needs.
Carla and Hazel, the setter parks beside the opening and lifts the fixture from there. That parked space isn't marked either. Kieran, supplier has agreed to provide the loaded assembly, connections included.
And keep the complete loaded-tool assessment against the robot's limits separate from geometric clearance. One passing check does not supply the other.
Installed survey is back. The open door projects farther beside the fixture than the catalogue outline suggested. Complete tool model is still pending, so we haven't established an actual clash or chosen another base location.
That measurement is useful without jumping to a remedy. Will the supplier's model identify the proposed assembly revision, so a later change in finger length cannot silently invalidate the access comparison?
Yes, revision identified in their delivery request. Thanks Victor for the trolley approach point; setter has marked the turning space as well as the parked position. Those stay in the integrator's comparison.
Complete assembly has arrived as a model, not a reviewed result. Integrator is checking both routes in the surveyed layout. I haven't promised the original position or a moved one to purchasing.
Please keep the setter's access finding beside whichever candidate returns; it would be a shame to solve the robot route and lose the human one in the next drawing issue.
