Our open machine door is missing from the layout

Our proposed use for Fairino FR10 is finished blank removal with a short steel blank in a production cell beside an enclosed mill, with 107 planned. The reach sketch suggests the fixture is accessible, but it includes neither the gripper body nor the open machine door. I need a fuller access check to inform our choice of arm.

Got measured outlines for the opening and gripper? An offline layout might catch what the reach circle misses.

After comparing the outlines, I found that the proposed approach overlaps the door handle even though the workpiece itself clears. That explains the misleadingly comfortable result in my initial sketch.

Use that measured layout to review the complete approach and retreat offline. Include the tool, cables and service access, then ask the integrator to assess a revised mounting arrangement.

The buyer has suggested choosing a larger arm. I'm unsure whether that would address the access issue or simply increase our purchase while leaving the obstruction unresolved.

Going larger should open up mounting options. It might be the most straightforward option to explore.

@OmarArcher0404 The handle overlap gives us something concrete to fix. No assessed layout yet, so the arm stays on the shortlist.

The obstruction is a useful finding, even with the final layout still open.
