Which part intersects the frame, and at which stage of unloading?
4 pointsThe wrist-side adapter intersects the top corner at the first withdrawn pose, with the aluminium blank still held.
4 pointsDoes raising the base actually change that required tool pose?
17 pointsNo, not if the tool orientation and withdrawal pose remain fixed; I see why a higher pedestal alone would not remove that particular clash.
6 pointsExactly. The proposed change needs a revised feasible configuration, not height alone.
21 pointsWho suggested the pedestal? I'm not against one, but it sounds like everyone is moving the base because it's the easy thing to draw. The obstruction is at the tool.
3 pointsIt could affect available configurations. We lack enough information to dismiss it altogether.
14 pointsAnd a different support needs its own design review, including stiffness and access, so get the integrator to present it as a complete option rather than a taller rectangle.
11 pointsThe suggestion came from our internal sketch review, not the integrator; I've sent the clash location and asked them to compare the complete options.
6 pointsGive each option its own tooling list as well, because a changed adapter can quietly turn into a spare part nobody knows they need to stock.
13 pointsAre both machine entry and loaded withdrawal included in that request?
18 pointsYes, including the intervening poses and the as-installed door arrangement; I also included our maintenance access area, which the original sketch ignored.
14 pointsThat should make the alternatives comparable. Has the actual tool assembly been selected?
11 pointsIf it hasn't, make the provisional geometry visible on the proposal so nobody mistakes a clearance study for approval of whichever tool turns up later.
-1 pointsThe gripper is selected, but the adapter remains provisional; the integrator is reviewing a different adapter orientation before spending time on the raised-base option.
7 pointsI was too quick about the pedestal. Your original post made it sound like an offered fix. An internal idea waiting for a configuration review is a different thing.
6 pointsThanks for clarifying the adapter status, that is precisely the bit I'd want identified in the eventual handover pack, with the approved drawing rather than this interim sketch.
16 pointsDo you have an owner for that final assembly review?
15 pointsThe integrator's mechanical lead owns it, with our maintenance planner reviewing access; we still have no approved unload layout, so the pedestal question remains undecided.
