I have two proposals for transferring aluminium housings into inspection nests. Both quote the housing mass, but one has longer fingers and an adapter the other does not use. The hose fittings are absent from both totals.
I cannot infer suitability from that comparison. More precisely, I need the tool suppliers and our integrator to agree what they are assessing: complete assemblies, held positions, movement and release. Should I request one worst-case load figure, or separate cases that remain tied to their actual geometry?
We have paused the internal-grip candidate while the supplier decides whether to redesign it. The outside-grip candidate remains under the integrator's assessment. I can now compare actual outstanding work, but I do not yet have an accepted tool choice.
