Have they got your actual door arrangement, or just an outline of the mill? That's where I'd start before arguing about the base
Cannot choose the FR5 base position from this sketch

Mill outline only. Door swings into space they have given the robot.
5 pointsThen send them the door-open view first. Does it have a handle sticking into the opening as well?
14 pointsYes. Pull handle and a folded bracket behind it.
8 pointsPhotograph both, please. Designers seem very good at finding space where the awkward little fittings live
8 pointsInclude the loaded tool drawing and open jaws; loading uses both shapes.
15 pointsWhere do the hoses leave the gripper? Those can spoil an otherwise decent gap too
4 pointsYour earlier mounting discussion had cable routing excluded. Is this proposal any clearer about who owns it?
1 pointsDifferent proposal, same omission. Toolmaker supplies fittings. Integrator has not accepted the routing task yet.
17 pointsGet that responsibility settled before signing the layout, because a fitting model alone won't show how the hose moves through the opening
11 pointsWho is collecting all this into one drawing? You shouldn't have to be the person mentally assembling five suppliers' emails
9 pointsIntegrator will own the combined layout and routing review. They've asked for the toolmaker's latest assembly.
15 pointsGood, someone to ask when the bits disagree. Have they given you an approach route or still just one pose?
15 pointsAnd check that the latest assembly means the one being supplied. Our purchasing revision once lagged behind the review drawing.
7 pointsOne pose so far. Toolmaker confirms the assembly revision matches the order. Route still pending.
4 pointsAsk for withdrawal after release as well.
17 pointsThat return needs the open-jaw shape Hassan mentioned. It could need more space than the held blank on the way in
18 pointsDoes the door stay in the same open position for both journeys?
7 pointsYes. Same door position throughout loading. Added both jaw states and withdrawal to the review request.
19 pointsLet us know what the route check finds. I'd be interested whether moving the base helps or just shifts the awkward bit to the wrist
