Enough reach, incomplete drawing

We're considering Fairino FR10 for machining fixture exchange with a machined brass blank in a production cell beside an enclosed mill, with 223 planned. The sketch reaches the fixture. Trouble is, we left out the gripper body and open door. I'd like to check access properly before choosing an arm.

Can you compare measured door geometry with the proposed gripper envelope? An offline layout including both may expose access issues that the reach sketch doesn't represent.

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

Start from those measurements and review approach and withdrawal offline with the full tool, cables and maintenance access included. A revised mount then needs the integrator's assessment.

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

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

@HassanChan1052 The handle overlap gives us something concrete to fix. No assessed layout yet, so the arm stays on the shortlist.

Having a specific access issue to resolve is progress; it doesn't require choosing the arm yet.
