Our FR5 drawing gets the brass blank out of the mill beautifully, mainly by leaving out the gripper and the open door; I've asked for both, but should the same review also cover the transfer into the receiving tray?

Yes. A different grip or orientation chosen to clear the mill can change the receiving transfer as well. Give the integrator the complete tool, intended held position and both ends of the job, with the actual machine obstructions.

That's the bit I was worried about, Jonas; the proposed receiving tray expects the blank in its original orientation, while the mill sketch turns it on exit

Then show where that orientation changes with the actual tool and blank, because an arrow between two nice endpoints can hide quite a lot of awkward metal

The integrator has agreed to include that transition, Jo, and the mill owner is checking the open-door envelope; no new route drawing yet

Is the receiver's rim in the model? Fingers need somewhere to open after placement.

Nadia, useful. Jamie, include the actual receiving insert as well as the tray exterior. We once had an apparently unchanged tray whose replacement insert altered the available space.

The rim and fitted insert are in the supplied tray model, Nadia and Jonas; the missing geometry is still on the tool and door side, and I've left those named in the request

Did they return the complete route after that, Jamie?
