Why do both tooling quotes stop weighing things at the housing?

Thanks. Including the adapter and fittings, presumably? The first supplier's tool mass leaves the adapter out.

Yes. It comes along for the ride.

Our teaching tool gained a spacer during commissioning and the old load sheet stayed in the folder. Nobody meant to hide it. Ask for one assembled drawing so you can check the quoted masses against what will actually be fitted.

And who checks that assembly against the robot's applicable load guidance? Name someone in the proposal.

Good question for the fixture drawing.

To reach past a locating wall. The shorter fingers need a different approach, which hasn't been drawn. So that quote has a missing access check as well as missing load data.

Get both approaches checked. Can't compare tools if only one has a route into the fixture.

Will you be changing fingers for other housings later? I'm wondering whether you're buying one fixed setup or something maintenance will keep rebuilding. The load information needs to follow those changes too.

One family initially, others only proposed. I'll keep those future versions out of this approval and ask what each change would need reviewed. Enough loose ends in the first setup already.

Fair enough. Close one complete tool first.
