# Industrial Specification: Plate Conveyor System

## 1. Technical Definition
A mechanical system designed to transport steel plates through the shot blasting process in marine hull manufacturing.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 m/s linear velocity, 0.1-0.3 MPa bearing pressure, 20-60°C operating temperature**. Failure boundary: **Bearing temperature exceeds 80°C (grease breakdown point), chain elongation exceeds 2% of original length, motor torque exceeds 150% rated capacity for &gt;30 seconds**, Mechanism: **Chain fatigue failure due to cyclic loading exceeding 10^6 cycles at 80% yield strength (415 MPa for Grade 80 chain), bearing seizure from lubricant thermal degradation at Arrhenius rate constant k=1.2×10^4 exp(-Ea/RT) where Ea=85 kJ/mol**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Tractive Power & Resistance Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $P = \frac{F \cdot v}{\eta}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Ensures motor torque capacity exceeds operational inertia.

| Symbol | Variable Definition | Localized Reference |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| F | Total Tractive Resistance | Engineering Constant |
| v | Belt Speed | Engineering Constant |
| \eta | Efficiency | Engineering Constant |

### 2.2 FMEA (Failure Mode & Effects Analysis)
| Event Trigger | Severity | Failure Mode | Mitigation Strategy |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Plate misalignment exceeding 5° angular deviation from conveyor centerline | 8 | Asymmetric chain loading causing premature roller bearing wear (L10 life reduced from 10,000 to 2,000 hours) | Install laser alignment sensors with 0.1° resolution and automatic hydraulic correction system |
| Abrasive particle accumulation in chain joints exceeding 0.5 g/cm³ concentration | 8 | Increased friction coefficient from 0.15 to 0.35 causing motor overload at 120% rated current | Implement high-pressure (10 MPa) water jet cleaning system with 30-minute automated cycles |
