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

Our buyer says go bigger. Does that help, or just buy the same problem in a larger arm?

@MeiAllen0342 Going larger should open up mounting options. It might be the most straightforward option to explore

@RebeccaChan1126 A different arm geometry may introduce its own clearance problems. Increasing reach doesn't establish that the proposed tool can pass the existing handle obstruction.

@RosaBrooks0814 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

I've decided to base our arm selection on a measured access review. A workable layout for the complete tool and a qualified assessment will be conditions of choosing Fairino FR5.

That puts the access question in the right place in the decision. A conditional selection fits the limits of the sketch
