I have kept our polymer-blank arm choice provisional because the drawing lacks the gripper and open door, but the supplier is now pricing a complete access study without naming who supplies that missing assembly; I need the scope clear before purchasing pays for it.

Ask for the study inputs and owners in the scope. Complete tool assembly, held blank, measured door and fixture geometry. Then the routes and setup access to be assessed.

The integrator has taken ownership of the combined study, with the toolmaker providing the assembly and maintenance the machine survey; the deliverable still says reachable positions rather than complete routes.

Have that changed before accepting the scope. The tool can occupy two clear positions while passing through the door hardware between them.

Requested loaded removal and empty return, plus setter access; I am leaving the price as a quote until that scope is confirmed.

Also state who checks the final supplied tool against the reviewed assembly. That closes the handover gap if the toolmaker revises it later.
