# Industrial Specification: Wire Feed Mechanism

## 1. Technical Definition
A precision mechanism that controls the feeding of wire to the crimping station in automated wire harness production.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-3.0 m/s wire feed velocity, 0.1-5.0 N feed force, 0.01-0.05 mm positioning accuracy**. Failure boundary: **Wire feed velocity exceeds 3.5 m/s causing slip, feed force drops below 0.05 N causing stall, positioning error exceeds 0.1 mm causing misalignment**, Mechanism: **Coulomb friction coefficient degradation below 0.15 causes slip failure, stepper motor torque drops below 0.02 N·m at 85°C due to neodymium magnet Curie temperature effects, ball screw backlash exceeding 0.03 mm causes positioning hysteresis**.

### 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 |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Permanent magnet stepper motor demagnetization at 150°C ambient temperature | 8 | Feed velocity drops to 0.2 m/s maximum, positioning accuracy degrades to 0.2 mm | Install PTC thermistor thermal cutoff at 130°C, use samarium-cobalt magnets with 350°C Curie temperature |
| Drive roller polyurethane surface hardness increases from 80 Shore A to 95 Shore A due to ozone cracking | 8 | Wire slippage occurs at 1.5 m/s feed velocity, feed force transmission efficiency drops to 65% | Implement nitrile rubber rollers with carbon black filler, install UV-resistant enclosure with 400 nm cutoff filter |
