# Industrial Specification: Sewing Head Assembly

## 1. Technical Definition
The core stitching mechanism of an industrial upholstery sewing machine that drives the needle and forms stitches.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-3.0 N·m torque at 3000-6000 rpm, 0.1-0.3 mm needle deflection tolerance**. Failure boundary: **Needle bar deflection exceeding 0.5 mm, hook timing deviation beyond ±0.15 ms, thread tension exceeding 50 cN**, Mechanism: **Bending fatigue failure at needle bar due to cyclic loading at 3000-6000 Hz, Hertzian contact stress exceeding 1500 MPa at hook-needle interface**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Hook-to-needle clearance deviation beyond 0.05 mm tolerance | 8 | Thread loop formation failure causing skipped stitches | Precision ground cam mechanism with 0.01 mm positional accuracy and laser alignment verification |
| Needle bar bearing lubrication degradation below ISO VG 32 viscosity at 40°C | 8 | Increased friction torque exceeding 4.0 N·m causing motor overload | Forced oil circulation system with 0.5 L/min flow rate and 10 μm filtration |
