# Industrial Specification: Labeling Unit

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical subsystem that applies labels to beverage containers within an automated labeling system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.5 NÂ·m torque, 0.1-0.5 m/s linear speed, 20-80Â°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Torque &gt;3.0 NÂ·m causes gearbox shear failure, linear speed &gt;0.7 m/s induces label misalignment &gt;Â±2.0 mm, temperature &gt;85Â°C degrades adhesive polymer chains**, Mechanism: **Gear tooth fatigue fracture at 10â¶ cycles (S-N curve for 4140 steel), adhesive viscoelastic creep exceeding 15% strain at 85Â°C (WLF equation with Tg=65Â°C), pneumatic actuator stiction at &lt;0.3 MPa pressure differential**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Pneumatic pressure drop below 0.4 MPa due to regulator diaphragm fatigue | 8 | Label applicator arm incomplete extension causing 30% label placement error | Dual-redundant pneumatic circuits with 0.55 MPa minimum pressure sensors and automatic switchover |
| Encoder resolution degradation from 1000 pulses/rev to &lt;800 pulses/rev due to optical window contamination | 8 | Stepper motor position error accumulation exceeding Â±0.5Â° causing label skew &gt;5Â° | Absolute rotary encoder with IP67 sealing and automated ethanol purge system every 10â´ cycles |
