Brass blank in the FR5 layout, tool still outside it

The proposed brass-loading point sits inside our machine, while the tool drawing sits in another email and the door is shown closed; I want the full assembly checked together before choosing the FR5 position.

Does the tool drawing include its open fingers? Mine didn't.

Only closed. I've requested both states with the held brass blank and asked the machine contact for the measured working door position

Has the supplier identified the grip depth too? Otherwise someone can make the blank clear the door simply by drawing more of it inside the fingers.

Yes, fixed in the proposed tool assembly. Complete comparison now shows the rear fitting overlapping the door stay during approach. Supplier is considering another connection arrangement

Who checks that change still leaves room for the setter?

We had the setter mark fixture-removal space before the next layout revision, and it stopped a stand being moved into the only useful trolley position; can your machine contact include that now, Mei?

Machine contact has asked the setter to mark it. I have kept the connection change pending that combined review, including its full route rather than one clear approach picture

Any proposal back yet? Interested whether the fitting can move without starting a whole different tooling arrangement.
