Which complete-tool measurements belong in our FR10 aluminium-blank route?

This FR10 unloading proposal has an aluminium blank at the fixture but no gripper body or open door. I need both in the installed geometry. What should the integrator require from the toolmaker?

Request the complete assembly in its loaded and open states, including adapter, fingers, held-blank orientation and service routing. Combine that with the installed fixture and door geometry. The route review should cover approach, removal and return rather than only one accessible pose.

We have a gripper catalogue and blank drawing, no fitted assembly. The door measurement gives opening width but not the parked position or projections.

Can the machine lead supply that installed door condition while the toolmaker defines the assembly, so neither designer has to guess the other's missing space?

Yes. Integrator has both input requests and owns the combined review. Setter will mark fixture-change access on the same layout.

Include tool-change access too, if maintenance needs to reach the connections in place.

Ada, that is useful as a task requirement. It should identify what maintenance needs to reach and in which condition, not become a guessed clearance allowance pasted around the catalogue picture.

Has the toolmaker fixed how the blank is held during withdrawal, Henry?

Not yet. There are two candidate grip orientations. I've asked for both to be identified rather than let the route drawing silently use whichever clears best.

Then their load assessments need the same candidate identities. Neither is just a different picture.

Agreed. No complete tool route returned so far. Thanks Lin for distinguishing the open state; that wasn't in our first request at all.

Keep the arm selection pending those defined candidates. Your request is more useful now, but its existence does not establish access for either arrangement.
