# Industrial Specification: Automated Pallet System

## 1. Technical Definition
A material handling subsystem that automatically transports, positions, and exchanges pallets containing aluminum workpieces within a CNC machining cell.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 m/s linear velocity, 0.1-1.0 m/s² acceleration, 50-500 kg payload capacity**. Failure boundary: **Exceeding 2.5 m/s linear velocity causes servo motor overload beyond 150% rated torque for &gt;5 seconds, or payload &gt;550 kg exceeds structural yield strength of 355 MPa steel components**, Mechanism: **Servo motor thermal overload due to I²R heating exceeding 120°C insulation class H limit, or structural plastic deformation from stress exceeding yield point of ASTM A36 steel (σ_y = 250 MPa)**.

### 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 |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Encoder feedback signal loss due to EMI interference exceeding 85 dBμV/m at 100 MHz | 8 | Positional drift exceeding ±0.5 mm tolerance causing pallet misalignment | Shielded twisted-pair cabling with 360° grounding and ferrite chokes at both ends |
| Linear guideway contamination with aluminum chips exceeding 15 μm particle size | 8 | Increased friction coefficient from 0.002 to &gt;0.008 causing servo overcurrent | IP67-rated bellows seals with positive air purge at 0.3 bar pressure differential |
