Our drawing forgot the gripper, and now the door matters

I took the proposed FR10 layout to our late-shift setter. He put a finger on the door rail and asked how the tool would get past it. The drawing only has a line ending at the steel blank. I'd like a useful check before this becomes an order, especially since we'll be the people clearing the machine afterwards.

Get the proposed gripper dimensions first, even a measured block model will tell you more than that line and won't cost you an arm order

The supplier sent the gripper body drawing. With fingers added, its outline crosses the rail in our proposed loading pose. We haven't even got to the movement yet.

Is the rail position from the machine drawing or measured on yours, because accessory brackets have surprised us before

Measured on ours, with the machine safely out of use for the survey. There's also a lamp bracket missing from the old drawing. The setter was right to stop the discussion there.

I'd send those additions back on one marked-up layout and ask the designer which mounting options are still plausible

Include the loaded exit. Clearing the entry pose only answers half your question.

Yes, and don't accept a new base location without its path checked too, I made that sound easier than it is

Who is responsible for keeping the machine model current? If nobody owns it, the lamp bracket will disappear again when the next person opens the old file.

Our maintenance planner has taken the survey copy. The integrator is revising the proposal against it. We've paused purchasing, but at least the shift team and designer now have the same machine in front of them.

Did the revised proposal keep space for your setter, or has sorting the door created a new obstruction at the bench?
