# Industrial Specification: Robotic Pouring System

## 1. Technical Definition
Automated system that precisely pours molten metal into casting molds using robotic arms

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 m/s pour velocity, 0.1-0.5 mm positioning accuracy, 700-750°C molten aluminum temperature**. Failure boundary: **Pour velocity exceeds 2.5 m/s causing turbulence, positioning error exceeds 1.0 mm causing misalignment, temperature drops below 680°C causing premature solidification**, Mechanism: **Bernoulli's principle violation at high pour velocities causing air entrapment, thermal expansion mismatch between robotic arm materials (steel coefficient: 12×10⁻⁶/°C vs. ceramic coating: 5×10⁻⁶/°C) causing joint fatigue**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Darcy-Weisbach Pressure Drop**:

> **Primary Equation**: $\Delta P = f \cdot \frac{L}{D} \cdot \frac{\rho v^2}{2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Critical for sizing CIP (Clean-In-Place) pump heads.
