# Industrial Specification: Orientation Sensor

## 1. Technical Definition
A sensor that detects and verifies the correct orientation of materials or components within a lamination feeder system.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0-360 degrees angular measurement with ±0.1° accuracy at 25°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Angular measurement error exceeding ±1.0° or response time degradation beyond 50ms from nominal 10ms**, Mechanism: **Hall effect sensor misalignment due to thermal expansion coefficient mismatch (sensor substrate CTE 6.5 ppm/°C vs mounting bracket CTE 23 ppm/°C) causing magnetic field detection offset**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Combined Measurement Uncertainty**:

> **Primary Equation**: $u_c = \sqrt{\sum u_i^2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Defines the precision confidence interval for inspection.
