We're considering Fairino FR5 for machine fixture loading with a cylindrical aluminum blank in an enclosed machining cell, with 228 planned.
The sketch reaches the fixture.
Trouble is, we left out the gripper body and open door.
I'd like to check access properly before choosing an arm
Enough reach, incomplete drawing (Fairino FR5)

Can you compare measured door geometry with the proposed gripper envelope? An offline layout including both may expose access issues that the reach sketch doesn't represent.
6分Checked them. The approach clips the handle; the workpiece clears. No wonder my first sketch looked so reassuring
6分Start from those measurements and review approach and withdrawal offline with the full tool, cables and maintenance access included. A revised mount then needs the integrator's assessment.
21分Our buyer says go bigger. Does that help, or just buy the same problem in a larger arm?
12分Going larger should open up mounting options. It might be the most straightforward option to explore.
13分@SofiaBrown0891 Bigger could bring another obstruction. Extra reach won't shrink the gripper past that handle.
-3分You're right; more mounting freedom isn't guaranteed. Check each candidate in the measured layout and only favour a larger arm if its full approach works better.
9分@SofiaBrown0891 We had a different machine application where a good transfer layout put the pedestal across a service panel. Maintenance spotted the catch immediately
19分Checked ours. The suggested pedestal overlaps a panel opening too. More red pen for the drawing
4分@ReeceBarnes0558 Would making the pedestal removable address service access, or would restoring its position introduce a further setup requirement to evaluate?
14分A removable base adds relocation and installation checks to the work. Have the integrator weigh that against keeping normal service access clear in the layout.
2分The handle overlap gives us something concrete to fix. No assessed layout yet, so Fairino FR5 stays on the shortlist
5分Having a specific access issue to resolve is progress; it doesn't require choosing the arm yet.
