# Industrial Specification: Automated Component Feeding System

## 1. Technical Definition
A precision automated system that supplies components to the assembly line of a radiotherapy linear accelerator.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 m/s feed velocity, 0.01-0.05 mm positioning accuracy, 20-40 kPa vacuum pressure**. Failure boundary: **Feed velocity exceeds 2.5 m/s causing component misalignment &gt;0.1 mm, vacuum pressure drops below 15 kPa causing component slippage, positioning repeatability exceeds 0.08 mm RMS error**, Mechanism: **Inertial overshoot at feed velocities &gt;2.5 m/s due to servo motor torque limitations (τ_max = 12 N·m), Bernoulli's principle failure at vacuum pressures &lt;15 kPa causing insufficient suction force (F_suction &lt; 0.8 N), thermal expansion of linear guides at ambient temperature &gt;35°C causing positioning drift (α_steel = 11×10^-6 /°C)**.

### 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.
