The FR10 blank exits through another missing-door model

A new steel-blank removal proposal has repeated the missing-door problem I asked about earlier. Blank shown at the fixture, gripper body absent, open door absent. I'm calling this an initial layout until those are included. What should I ask to see between gripping the blank and actually getting it clear of the mill?

The whole loaded withdrawal, including any turn through the opening, with the complete tool and real door geometry. Also the empty-tool route. Two clear end poses can hide a collision halfway between them.

Who supplied the opening dimensions?

Rick, the layout drafter used a sales outline. Machine owner hasn't confirmed the opening. That needs fixing before the route check, not after.

Does the proposed tool have its adapter and fittings defined yet?

GabrielAli, that's the other half. A measured opening and an invented gripper still make an invented clearance result. Get both owners supplying the actual candidate assemblies to the integrator.

Include the setter's fixture-change access on that layout

GabrielAli, fingers are proposed but the adapter isn't defined. GabrielBell, I've asked the toolmaker for the complete assembly and the machine owner for the door survey. Rick, setter will review the same candidate.

Any reason that adapter is still undecided? It might change the intended grip position.

And don't let a longer adapter inherit the old load assessment. The complete tool with held blank needs checking against the applicable limits, not just squeezing through the opening.

No stand order yet, I hope
