# Industrial Specification: Tool Gripper

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical component of a Tool Arm designed to securely grasp, hold, and release tools or workpieces during automated operations.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.5 kN gripping force, 0.1-0.5 mm positional accuracy, 0-85°C ambient temperature**. Failure boundary: **Gripping force drops below 0.3 kN, positional error exceeds 0.8 mm, temperature exceeds 100°C**, Mechanism: **Thermal expansion of actuator components exceeding 150 μm/m·K coefficient, leading to misalignment and reduced mechanical advantage**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Pneumatic pressure drop below 4 bar | 8 | Insufficient gripping force causing workpiece slippage | Dual-pressure sensor feedback with 0.1 bar resolution and redundant air supply valves |
| Servo motor encoder contamination exceeding 50 μm particulate accumulation | 8 | Positional feedback error causing misalignment | IP67-rated encoder housing with positive pressure purge system at 0.2 bar differential |

## 3. Key Technical Parameters
