Toolmaker has supplied the assembly. Layout author is adding the actual door position and open fingers. We have not chosen a stand.

Include the blank projection they actually propose holding, Aisha. You can make the same tool appear to clear or clash by letting the part slide conveniently inside the drawing.

Projection now matches the toolmaker's proposed grip. The loaded assembly crosses the door edge on withdrawal. The integrator is checking a position farther along the machine front.

Keep the setter's fixture-removal and cleaning tasks beside that new position. The same complete assembly should be used for the comparison so everyone can see what moving the base actually changes.

And have maintenance consider replacement of the fitted tool, not just reaching its outside. A position can be comfortable to look at and miserable to work on.

Who does those jobs on the covering shift?

The deputy setter covers fixture changes; maintenance replaces the tooling. Both are attending the layout review. The farther position also moves the receiving tray, which the operator wants checked.

Good, because the receiving tray is part of unloading too. Don't let the model finish as soon as the blank clears the mill and leave you discovering the next clash at release.

Felix, yes. Aisha, show the full receiving placement and open-tool withdrawal with the tray at its proposed location, including the ordinary tray exchange.

Has the complete receiving view arrived?

It has. Tool clears the receiving tray, but the moved tray blocks the deputy setter's loaded trolley turn. We are rejecting that combined layout.

Is manual unloading still in the comparison? I would keep its actual labour beside any further redesign, particularly if this is a small job.

Callum, absolutely. A drawing number doesn't oblige Aisha to rebuild the room around it.

Manual unloading is priced. Integrator is considering a different tool at the original position; purchasing has capped this next design comparison rather than treating each revised layout as inevitable.

Ask the toolmaker to identify what changes in the complete loaded assembly and handling sequence. Shorter fingers alone are not a finished proposal if grip or release now needs another arrangement.

The proposal requires a changed receiving nest as well as new fingers. We have asked for that complete cost and assessment scope before authorising the next stage. No hardware order.

Useful to know what shorter actually buys you.
