@VictorBell0620 Checked them. The approach clips the handle; the workpiece clears. No wonder my first sketch looked so reassuring.

@WillBrooks0835 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.

@VictorBell0620 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.

@WillBrooks0835 A larger arm should give you more mounting freedom, so that could be the easiest route to investigate.

Bigger could bring another obstruction. Extra reach won't shrink the gripper past that handle

@PavelBrooks0788 Yes, i made that sound more certain than it's. Compare candidate geometry in the measured layout; a larger arm is only useful if the complete approach improves.

@VictorBell0620 We had a different machine application where a good transfer layout put the pedestal across a service panel. Maintenance spotted the catch immediately.
