How do I compare FR5 positions while the gripper drawing is missing?

Who supplied the present tool envelope, if there is one?
17pointsThere isn't one. Literally a point at the fixture. I've requested the quoted assembly dimensions.
11pointsYou can still compare broad positions with a marked provisional envelope once you have one. I wouldn't freeze the whole planning job, but I wouldn't order hardware from this picture either.
16pointsHave you asked the machine owner to survey the door and fittings? The tool drawing won't supply those, and waiting for one should not delay the other.
17pointsInclude maintenance access. Our cabinet door needed the same space someone gave the robot stand.
9pointsAnd if they propose longer fingers to reach past the opening, have the complete tool reviewed again. I've seen finger length change while the old gripper outline kept doing service as the official drawing.
14pointsA different approach orientation may be worth comparing before changing the base. That is conditional on the actual assembly and machine geometry, not a claim that your current position can work.
11pointsWhere does the setter stand for a fixture change? I would mark that with the provisional bases, rather than leave human access until the robot path looks attractive.
16pointsDinesh, survey is under way. Luis and Eli, maintainer and setter are marking their access on it. Tool supplier has sent a provisional complete envelope; two base candidates remain open.
15pointsKeep fixture-change frequency in the comparison too, since squeezing past a stand once a month and doing it repeatedly on every short order are very different nuisances.
6pointsUse the actual changeover trolley in that review. Our first training layout left just enough space for the trolley parked, but none to turn it into position. We only noticed when the setter walked us through the task.
8pointsOwen, exactly the sort of thing an early layout check can catch. Aisha doesn't need a finished trajectory before finding out a trolley can't turn.
11pointsOne candidate blocks the cabinet opening and is rejected. Other stays provisional for setter access and tool motion. Thomas, supplier will compare another approach from it. No stand order.
22pointsDid the setter try the trolley route at that remaining candidate, Aisha, or is that still to be reviewed?
16pointsAsk the supplier to identify the exact envelope revision used when that approach review returns. Otherwise the provisional geometry can be mistaken for the final tool without anyone consciously making that decision.
