Risks & Assumptions

Key Risks

!
Part variation — Dimensional inconsistency in raw stock may require adaptive gripper or reject bin
!
Machine downtime coordination — Robot idle time during CNC maintenance affects utilization
i
Gripper wear — Aluminum dust and cycle count will require periodic gripper replacement

Assumptions

  • 2-shift operation, 260 working days/year
  • $28/hour fully loaded labor cost
  • 95% uptime target
  • No major CNC machine modifications required

Recommended Next Steps

  • Detailed on-site assessment
  • Request vendor quotes based on system concept
  • Conduct safety review and risk assessment
  • Validate cycle time with time-motion study
