# Industrial Specification: Part Feeder/Handler

## 1. Technical Definition
Automated device that supplies and positions components for assembly operations

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-2.0 mm positioning accuracy, 10-100 components/minute feed rate, 0.5-5.0 N component gripping force**. Failure boundary: **Positioning error exceeds ±0.25 mm tolerance, feed rate drops below 5 components/minute, gripping force falls below 0.2 N**, Mechanism: **Wear-induced backlash in lead screw mechanism exceeding 50 μm cumulative play, pneumatic actuator seal degradation causing 15% pressure loss, stepper motor detent torque reduction below 0.05 N·m due to demagnetization**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Harmonic Vibration Force Generation**:

> **Primary Equation**: $F_e = m \cdot r \cdot \omega^2 \sin(\omega t)$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Calculates centrifugal force for vibratory sifters/feeders.
