# Industrial Specification: Automated Cell Sorting Station

## 1. Technical Definition
A specialized station within a battery assembly line that automatically sorts lithium-ion cells based on electrical and physical characteristics.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **3.0-4.2 V cell voltage, 0.5-5.0 A test current, 18-26°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Cell voltage &lt;2.5 V or &gt;4.3 V during testing, contact resistance &gt;50 mΩ, ambient temperature &gt;40°C**, Mechanism: **Lithium-ion cell thermal runaway initiated by dendrite formation during overcharge (&gt;4.3V) or separator puncture from mechanical stress during handling**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Capacitive coupling from adjacent high-voltage busbars inducing &gt;100V transients on measurement circuits | 8 | ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) latch-up in cell voltage measurement module causing permanent 0V readings | Install ferrite beads on all signal lines with 1kΩ series resistors and shielded twisted-pair cabling grounded at single point |
| Pneumatic cylinder rod seal degradation due to PTFE wear particles from &gt;500,000 cycles exceeding 0.5 mm clearance | 8 | Compressed air leakage dropping gripper force below 15 N, causing cell drops during transfer between test positions | Replace single-acting cylinders with double-acting design using Viton seals and install pressure sensors with 0.1 bar resolution for real-time monitoring |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
