# Industrial Specification: Automated Extraction Mechanism

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical system that automatically removes cast products from the continuous casting line.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.5 m/s extraction velocity, 150-450 kN extraction force**. Failure boundary: **Extraction force exceeding 500 kN causes permanent deformation of gripper jaws, hydraulic pressure exceeding 25 MPa ruptures cylinder seals**, Mechanism: **Yield strength exceedance of ASTM A36 steel gripper components (250 MPa yield strength) under cyclic loading, hydraulic fluid cavitation at pressures below 0.3 MPa absolute causing pump impeller erosion**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Hydraulic fluid contamination exceeding ISO 4406 18/16/13 cleanliness level | 8 | Spool valve sticking in directional control valve causing asymmetric extraction force | Install dual 3-micron absolute filtration with differential pressure monitoring and automatic bypass |
| Thermal expansion mismatch between Invar 36 gripper frame (1.2×10⁻⁶/°C CTE) and 316 stainless steel mounting brackets (16×10⁻⁶/°C CTE) | 8 | Progressive misalignment exceeding 0.5 mm causing binding in linear guide rails | Implement kinematic mounting with flexure couplings allowing 0.8 mm thermal displacement at 200°C ΔT |
