FR5 loading sketch with no room drawn for the open gripper

Our aluminium-blank loading sketch reaches the machine fixture, but the gripper is a dot and the open door is absent. What should the supplier show before we choose an FR5 mounting position?

The whole tool carrying the blank, through approach, loading and withdrawal, against the actual open door. Then the empty tool after release. A dot gets into places a gripper has no business claiming.

They have a gripper model but used the machine catalogue opening. I've asked the machine owner for the installed door position and handle outline.

We found a different door variant in our model after several revisions. Ask for the survey reference on the combined view, so it does not quietly revert later.

Include the setter's fixture change and the trolley bringing tooling in, because the loading point is only one reason people need that opening.

Machine owner supplied the installed opening and handle survey. The setter has marked the fixture-change route. Supplier is combining both with its proposed tool and blank.

Which stand positions are genuinely available?

Ada's question can save some drawing work. A theoretically clear side approach is not an option if the neighbouring machine already owns that floor.

Front position and a farther front position. Side space belongs to the other machine. We have told the supplier not to propose a side stand as free space.

Has the combined first-position view returned yet?

Yes. Tool body conflicts with the door handle on the approach. They are checking the farther position with the same complete assembly, not drawing a smaller gripper.

Does the farther stand leave the trolley route usable, including the person steering it rather than only its footprint?

And compare the receiver after unloading. Moving the stand can help the doorway and make the receiving end awkward.

Is the actual receiver already identified?

Ada, yes, our existing receiving tray and stand. Amara, the farther position overlaps the trolley turning area on the current drawing. The setter is reviewing whether any frontal position preserves it.

Do not let the first position return as the fallback without its handle clash clearly marked. We nearly selected a superseded layout because its price sheet was easier to find.

Thanks for checking the turn, Bruno; a trolley shown neatly parked can hide the whole arriving-and-leaving part of the job.

What alternative remains if the setter rejects the farther stand? Another tool concept, or no useful loading arrangement in that space?

Has the setter finished that review?

The setter rejected the farther stand because the loaded tooling trolley cannot turn there. Both positions are out with this tool. Supplier is pricing a different tool concept before we decide whether another study is worthwhile.

Fair result. Keep those rejections tied to the actual tool and positions; you have ruled out two arrangements, not discovered that every FR5 installation is impossible.
