# Industrial Specification: Terminal Feeding System

## 1. Technical Definition
A subsystem that precisely delivers electrical terminals from a bulk supply to the termination station of an automated wire processing machine.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 m/s terminal feed velocity, 0.05-0.15 mm positioning accuracy, 0.1-0.5 N terminal separation force**. Failure boundary: **Terminal feed velocity below 0.3 m/s causes jamming; positioning error exceeding 0.2 mm causes misalignment; separation force exceeding 0.8 N causes terminal deformation**, Mechanism: **Terminal jamming occurs due to Coulomb friction exceeding 0.6 coefficient between terminal and guide rail; misalignment results from cumulative positioning error exceeding 0.2 mm tolerance; terminal deformation occurs when yield strength of copper alloy (typically 250-350 MPa) is exceeded by separation forces**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Tractive Power & Resistance Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = \frac{F \cdot v}{\eta}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Ensures motor torque capacity exceeds operational inertia.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| F | Total Tractive Resistance | Engineering Constant |
| v | Belt Speed | Engineering Constant |
| \eta | Efficiency | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Guide rail wear exceeding 0.1 mm clearance increase | 8 | Terminal trajectory deviation exceeding 0.2 mm tolerance | Hardened steel guide rails with 0.02 mm manufacturing tolerance and 60 HRC surface hardness |
| Pneumatic actuator pressure drop below 4.0 bar | 8 | Insufficient terminal separation force below 0.1 N | Dual-redundant pneumatic system with 6.0 bar operating pressure and 0.5 bar pressure monitoring threshold |

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

### Q: What materials are used in the terminal feeding system construction?
**A**: Our terminal feeding system is constructed from durable materials including stainless steel for corrosion resistance, tool steel for wear components, and engineering plastics like POM and UHMW for low-friction applications.

### Q: How does the system ensure precise terminal delivery?
**A**: The system uses a vibratory bowl feeder to orient terminals, followed by an escapement mechanism and selection track that ensures only properly oriented terminals are transferred via the carrier slide to the termination station.

### Q: What components are included in the terminal feeding system?
**A**: The complete system includes a vibratory bowl feeder, orientation/selection track, escapement mechanism, and transfer slide/carrier - all designed to work together for reliable terminal delivery in automated wire processing applications.
