Our supervised tending plan covers 208 polymer blanks. The FR5 reaches the fixture on the sketch, but the gripper body and open door are missing. I need an access decision based on the real assembly before selecting an arm; what should the suppliers put into one review?
Have the integrator combine the installed door geometry with the complete tool and held blank through unloading, release and withdrawal. Ask each supplier to identify the missing dimensions it owns, rather than supply a guessed generic envelope
Does machine drawing mean the installed opening, including the handle, or a sales outline? That distinction can matter before anyone trusts its door position.
Then make the survey a named input, alongside the supplier's complete assembly. This remains an offline geometric review; actual machine access and safety functions need their separate engineering assessment.
Naomi's return-path point also matters if the base position changes. Preserve the full task and human-access assumptions when comparing alternatives, rather than optimise one pose in isolation.
Have the integrator identify exactly which checks are waiting on that envelope. You can keep useful survey work without pretending all geometry is now known
