Get the machine owner to supply the opened arrangement. Keep the complete gripper, fittings and held blank in the comparison through approach and withdrawal, not only at the fixture point.
19 pointsMachine owner can supply that. The integrator has a tool model, although it shows the fingers in one position only.
16 pointsThey need the relevant loaded and open states. Our own layout review also needed the empty return, which had been quietly assumed clear.
14 pointsDoes the setter still need to remove that fixture through the same opening?
16 pointsYes, Sofia. I've added fixture removal to the tasks the integrator must show, alongside the empty return Omar mentioned.
14 pointsBefore anyone moves the stand, mark the services and maintenance access that must stay usable. Our drawing once solved the robot route by making a cabinet door decorative.
16 pointsReece's point belongs on the layout now. It's cheaper to reject a proposed position before someone prices anchors and cable routes for it.
16 pointsReece, was your cabinet access problem visible on the original plan?
8 pointsThe combined model shows our first approach crossing the opened door handle. Integrator is trying a different stand position; maintenance has marked its required access area on that version.
12 pointsOmar, the cabinet was drawn, but not its open door or the space needed to work there. Nobody had asked maintenance to mark the task area. They did notice before installation, luckily.
18 pointsOwen, is fixture removal still included after that move?
19 pointsIncluded, but the setter rejected the new position because it crosses the fixture trolley route. We're comparing a third position rather than calling the handle clearance a win.
13 pointsKeep the rejected positions with their reasons. Otherwise the next drawing meeting can spend an hour rediscovering the one that nearly worked.
21 pointsHas the third position survived the combined review? Curious which constraint finally sets the location.
14 pointsThe third position clears the modelled tool routes and leaves the trolley route usable. The maintenance area is preserved too. It needs a longer service route, which is now being priced.
23 pointsAny assumed tool detail still missing?
11 pointsThe rear fitting and line route are identified, with both finger states included. The integrator has listed the geometry used and the remaining installation checks.
16 pointsThen the access comparison has given you a usable candidate. Include the changed service cost before making the arm decision; it belongs to this layout, even if the arm quote is unchanged.
15 pointsWe have a revised total now. Purchasing kept this FR5 layout as the candidate for the next design stage, with the installation checks still explicit. Thanks, Reece, maintenance caught that constraint early enough to price it properly.
