Why did nobody draw the open door around this FR5?

We put our proposed FR5 pickup sketch beside the machine and the open door was right through the gripper body, so now I'm wondering who gets the downtime when the next version reaches the polymer blank but blocks the setter.

Which way does the door open relative to the approach? The arm centreline gets all the attention while the actual tool is apparently expected to become transparent.

Slides left, stacks beside the opening, right where the sketch parks the gripper during entry.

The parked position might be the easier thing to change. Or rather, it is worth comparing before anyone announces you need a different robot.

Sofia, yes, though moving that position alone might still sweep the fingers through the door stack. I'd want the tool drawn through the whole approach.

There isn't a whole approach yet, just arrows between two poses; I've been sold some very economical drawing.

We had a proposal that cleared the open door beautifully and put the tool stand where the setter needed to lean in. Ask the setter to mark their working space on this one before it gets polished.

Clara, that's a useful addition. Does the stand have to stay accessible during automatic running in your example, or was it purely the setup access?

Setup access. The stand was a permanent obstruction even with the machine stopped. Nobody had drawn the person reaching past it, only the arm going round it.

Luis, is there a second proposed approach direction, or are they still trying to make that left-hand parking spot work?

Still the same side; our setter marked the setup space and it overlaps the proposed base as well, so there's more to move than a waiting pose.

That is the sort of sketch worth having early. Ugly, but it contains the machine and the person who has to deal with it.
