# Industrial Specification: Cutting Assembly

## 1. Technical Definition
A precision cutting mechanism within an automated grading and portioning system designed for food products.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-3.0 MPa cutting pressure, 15-60 cuts/minute, 0.01-0.05 mm cutting tolerance**. Failure boundary: **Blade edge temperature exceeding 250°C, cutting force exceeding 4500 N, blade deflection exceeding 0.15 mm**, Mechanism: **Austenite grain growth in AISI 440C stainless steel blades at sustained temperatures above 250°C reduces hardness from 58 HRC to below 52 HRC, causing accelerated wear. Cyclic loading at 4500 N exceeds yield strength of 1650 MPa, initiating fatigue cracks at stress concentrations.**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Heat Sterilization F0 Lethality Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_0 = \int_{0}^{t} 10^{(T-121.1)/z} dt$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Validates microbial reduction integrity for aseptic packaging.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| T | Process Temp (°C) | **$T \in [121-135]$ °C** (Per `temperature_range`) |
| t | Exposure Time (min) | Engineering Constant |
| z | Z-value | **10 °C** (Standard for *C. botulinum*) |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Protein-fat buildup on blade surfaces exceeding 0.2 mm thickness | 8 | Increased cutting resistance causing 15-25% torque overload on servo motor | Implement pulsed ultrasonic cleaning at 40 kHz frequency during idle cycles with food-grade detergent injection |
| Misalignment of blade guide rails exceeding 0.03 mm perpendicular deviation | 8 | Asymmetric blade loading causing premature bearing failure within 200 operating hours | Install laser alignment sensors with 0.005 mm resolution and automated pneumatic adjustment system |
