Checked them. The approach clips the handle; the workpiece clears. No wonder my first sketch looked so reassuring

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.

The buyer has suggested choosing a larger arm. I'm unsure whether that would address the access issue or simply increase our purchase while leaving the obstruction unresolved

A larger arm should give you more mounting freedom, so that could be the easiest route to investigate.

Bigger could bring another obstruction. Extra reach won't shrink the gripper past that handle.

@JamieAllen0295 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.

@ElliotBrown0944 We had a different machine application where a good transfer layout put the pedestal across a service panel. Maintenance spotted the catch immediately.

@GabrielBell0627 Checked ours. The suggested pedestal overlaps a panel opening too. More red pen for the drawing

Could you move the pedestal for service? Or is putting it back a whole other job?

@AdaCarter0999 A removable base adds relocation and installation checks to the work. Have the integrator weigh that against keeping normal service access clear in the layout.

I still can't establish a usable approach for the complete tool. Purchase is on hold until access is settled

@DanielAli0217 Holding the purchase makes sense while the complete-tool approach remains unproven.
