# Industrial Specification: Automated Bottle Capping Machine

## 1. Technical Definition
Industrial machine for applying and sealing caps on beverage bottles at high speed

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.8-1.2 NÂ·m torque at 1200-1800 rpm capping head rotation**. Failure boundary: **Cap torque exceeds 1.5 NÂ·m or falls below 0.5 NÂ·m, causing thread stripping or insufficient seal**, Mechanism: **Plastic deformation of bottle threads (PET material yield strength: 55 MPa) or cap liner compression beyond elastic limit (EPDM liner compression set &gt;25%)**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Thin-Wall Pressure Vessel Stress Analysis**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\sigma_h = \frac{P \cdot D}{2t}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Determines the hoop stress boundary to prevent rupture.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| P | Internal Pressure | Engineering Constant |
| D | Diameter | Engineering Constant |
| t | Wall Thickness | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Servo motor encoder feedback loss due to EMI from adjacent 480V AC drives | 8 | Torque control failure leading to over-tightening and bottle neck fracture | Shielded encoder cables with ferrite cores and 30 dB EMI filtering at 10-100 MHz frequency range |
| Cap feeder vibratory bowl amplitude drift beyond Â±0.2 mm due to spring fatigue (S-N curve degradation at 10â· cycles) | 8 | Cap misalignment causing jamming and production line stoppage | Piezoelectric amplitude sensors with 0.01 mm resolution and automatic spring preload adjustment via PID control (Kp=2.5, Ki=0.1, Kd=0.05) |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in this capping machine to ensure food safety?
**A**: The machine uses Stainless Steel 316L, food-grade plastics, and anodized aluminum throughout all contact surfaces, meeting strict food safety standards for alcoholic beverage production.

### Q: How does the torque monitoring system improve capping quality?
**A**: The integrated torque sensor ensures consistent cap tightness for every bottle, preventing under-tightening (leaks) or over-tightening (damage), maintaining product integrity and reducing waste.

### Q: Can this machine handle different bottle sizes and cap types?
**A**: Yes, with adjustable bottle height and cap diameter ranges, plus quick-change tooling options, it accommodates various bottle formats common in alcoholic beverage manufacturing.
