# Industrial Specification: Body Drop Station

## 1. Technical Definition
Automated station in final assembly where vehicle body is precisely lowered onto chassis frame

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 mm positioning accuracy, 0.1-0.5 m/s descent velocity, 15-25 kN clamping force**. Failure boundary: **Positioning error &gt; 2.5 mm causes misalignment, descent velocity &gt; 0.7 m/s causes impact damage, clamping force &lt; 10 kN causes insufficient coupling**, Mechanism: **Kinematic misalignment exceeding elastic deformation limits of mounting interfaces (Hooke's Law: σ = Eε), impact energy exceeding yield strength of chassis welds (σ_y = 250 MPa for automotive steel), insufficient preload causing fretting corrosion at bolted joints**.

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Servo motor encoder feedback loss due to electromagnetic interference at 85-108 MHz | 8 | Position control failure causing 3.2-5.8 mm positioning overshoot | Shielded encoder cables with ferrite cores and differential signal transmission at 5V logic levels |
| Hydraulic cylinder seal degradation from thermal cycling between -20°C to 80°C | 8 | Fluid leakage at 15-25 mL/min causing pressure drop from 210 bar to &lt;150 bar | Fluorocarbon elastomer seals with 0.5 mm radial compression and 1.2 mm groove fill ratio |
