# Industrial Specification: Bowl Tooling / Track

## 1. Technical Definition
Customized tooling components that guide and orient parts through a vibratory bowl feeder system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.5 mm part clearance, 0.1-0.5 m/s feed velocity, 50-200 Hz vibration frequency**. Failure boundary: **Clearance exceeds 3.0 mm causing part jamming, velocity drops below 0.05 m/s causing accumulation, vibration amplitude exceeds 0.8 mm causing part damage**, Mechanism: **Wear-induced clearance expansion beyond part geometry tolerance (Hooke's Law elastic deformation limit exceeded), abrasive particle accumulation increasing friction coefficient beyond μ=0.3, resonance at natural frequency causing destructive amplitude amplification**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Abrasive wear from silicon carbide particles in feedstock | 8 | Track surface roughness increases from Ra=0.8 μm to Ra=3.2 μm causing part sticking | Hard chrome plating to 65 HRC with 0.05 mm thickness, diamond-like carbon coating with 0.02 mm thickness |
| Resonance at 180 Hz matching system natural frequency | 8 | Vibration amplitude amplification to 1.2 mm causing part impact damage | Tuned mass damper with 0.5 kg mass and 500 N·s/m damping coefficient, frequency detuning to 150 Hz operating point |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| spec | Config-dependent | mm | Verified |

## 4. System BOM & Knowledge Routing
### Core Components (Recursive Links)
- [Track Rail](https://cnfx.com/llms/industry/machinery-and-equipment-manufacturing/product/track-rail.md) `(Standalone System)`

### Industrial DNA Context (De-duplicated)
**Complementary Dependencies**: **Vibratory Bowl Feeder**, **Linear Feeder**, **Orientation Sensor System**  
**Downstream Applications**: Electronic Components, Pharmaceutical Capsules, Small Metal Fasteners  

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

### Q: What materials are best for bowl tooling in corrosive environments?
**A**: Stainless steel bowl tooling offers optimal corrosion resistance for harsh environments, while engineering plastics like acetal or UHMW provide chemical resistance and reduce part-on-part abrasion.

### Q: How does custom track rail design improve part orientation?
**A**: Custom track rails are precision-engineered to match part contours, preventing jams and ensuring consistent orientation through the feeder system, which increases throughput and reduces downtime.

### Q: Can bowl tooling components be replaced individually in an existing system?
**A**: Yes, modular components like discharge chutes, orientation steps, track rails, and wiper blades can be replaced individually to upgrade performance or adapt to new parts without replacing the entire feeder system.

## 6. Manufacturing Compliance
- ISO 2768-1:1989 (GENERAL TOLERANCES FOR LINEAR AND ANGULAR DIMENSIONS)
- ANSI B94.6-1984 (KNURLING)
- DIN 8580:2003 (MANUFACTURING PROCESSES - TERMS AND DEFINITIONS, DIVISION)
