Cannot choose the FR5 base position from this sketch

Our FR5 loading sketch reaches the polymer blank fixture. Complete gripper and open door missing. I need a base decision, but cannot approve this drawing. What should the access check contain?

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

Mill outline only. Door swings into space they have given the robot.

Then send them the door-open view first. Does it have a handle sticking into the opening as well?

Yes. Pull handle and a folded bracket behind it.

Photograph both, please. Designers seem very good at finding space where the awkward little fittings live

Include the loaded tool drawing and open jaws; loading uses both shapes.

Where do the hoses leave the gripper? Those can spoil an otherwise decent gap too

Your earlier mounting discussion had cable routing excluded. Is this proposal any clearer about who owns it?

Different proposal, same omission. Toolmaker supplies fittings. Integrator has not accepted the routing task yet.

Get that responsibility settled before signing the layout, because a fitting model alone won't show how the hose moves through the opening

Who is collecting all this into one drawing? You shouldn't have to be the person mentally assembling five suppliers' emails

Integrator will own the combined layout and routing review. They've asked for the toolmaker's latest assembly.

Good, someone to ask when the bits disagree. Have they given you an approach route or still just one pose?

And check that the latest assembly means the one being supplied. Our purchasing revision once lagged behind the review drawing.

One pose so far. Toolmaker confirms the assembly revision matches the order. Route still pending.

Ask for withdrawal after release as well.

That return needs the open-jaw shape Hassan mentioned. It could need more space than the held blank on the way in

Does the door stay in the same open position for both journeys?

Yes. Same door position throughout loading. Added both jaw states and withdrawal to the review request.

Let 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
