Our brass receiver sits where the mill fixture has to come out

I already need the full tool and door in our FR5 comparison. For this brass-blank job, the receiver adds another problem: it occupies the fixture-removal route. No, not the blank's route. The whole fixture.

Is that route from a setter's actual changeover, or a clearance box someone added to the drawing?

Keep it on the comparison. People will happily optimise a part move around a fixture they assume lives there forever.

How often does this job give way to the next fixture, and who handles that change?

Anna, the setter marked the trolley route. Rosa, several fixture changes in a normal mixed-job week. Setter and covering technician share them.

We had a receiving bench proposed as movable furniture until its contents and connections were listed. It became a changeover operation with its own constraints. If relocation is suggested here, have somebody describe the complete task before treating it as free space.

Or use a different receiver position. I'd try that before designing a daily furniture dance, though I don't know your available floor space.

There is space beside the machine. Integrator is comparing a fixed side receiver, including the complete tool opening and returning.

Can someone still lift the filled trays from that side? A place the robot can reach can be a rotten place for the person collecting the parts.

Setter says the collection side works. Integrator's full route now shows the rear fitting crossing the door handle on withdrawal from the machine.

Then the receiver change has answered one problem, not made the proposal ready. The actual connection and door still have to fit with the held blank; a line drawn through the handle is not a clearance.

Keep the agreed collection arrangement available while that is revised, so the next tool version does not quietly put the receiver back in the trolley route.

It is on the combined drawing. Supplier proposes a different connection arrangement; tooling is checking its complete assembly and the effect on the load assessment.

Including the spare arrangement? Same drawing title is no help if the replacement arrives with the old fitting.

Original fitting removed from the proposed spare list. No revised assembly accepted yet. The receiver move remains useful, but I cannot close the access comparison.
