Ask for the mass and centre of gravity of the whole loaded tool. Include the actual adapter.
19 pointsOne offer now includes the gripper and fingers, but the mounting adapter is still absent from its assembly sheet.
10 pointsSend it back for completion. Otherwise the review starts from the wrong assembly.
24 pointsI'd include the intended transfer in the supplier's assessment too. We had a classroom example where everyone could add the masses, but nobody had asked where the load sat or what motion was being proposed. A total on its own was not the whole question.
3 pointsI've sent the proposed transfer and fixture drawing with the missing-item request. Supplier says the adapter choice may change the offset as well as the mass, which is rather the point.
8 pointsWho pays for a different adapter if the complete assessment rejects the quoted one?
4 pointsSettle that before ordering. Also make sure both offers use the same required grip position for the comparison.
7 pointsNo order placed. I've asked both suppliers to confirm the grip position and complete assembly, with any resulting tool changes included in their revised offer; suitability remains open.
