# Industrial Specification: Pellet Cutter

## 1. Technical Definition
A cutting mechanism that precisely severs extruded material strands into uniform pellets within a pellet mill.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-3.0 mm cutting clearance, 50-200 bar hydraulic pressure, 20-100 Hz vibration frequency**. Failure boundary: **Cutting edge temperature exceeds 450°C, blade deflection exceeds 0.1 mm, hydraulic pressure drops below 40 bar**, Mechanism: **Thermal softening of M2 high-speed steel at 450°C reduces hardness from 62 HRC to 45 HRC, causing plastic deformation and edge rounding**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Material hardness variation exceeding ±5 HRC from nominal 62 HRC | 8 | Premature blade wear causing pellet length variation exceeding ±0.3 mm tolerance | Implement eddy current hardness testing with 0.5 HRC resolution at blade manufacturing stage |
| Hydraulic fluid contamination with particles &gt;15 μm | 8 | Servo valve stiction causing cutting timing error &gt;10 ms | Install 10 μm absolute filtration with differential pressure monitoring at 0.5 bar threshold |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Status |
