# Industrial Specification: Spray Manipulator

## 1. Technical Definition
A robotic arm component within an automated mold spraying system that precisely positions and moves spray nozzles to apply release agents or cooling fluids onto mold surfaces.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.5-2.0 m/s linear velocity, 0.1-0.8 MPa spray pressure, ±0.05 mm positioning accuracy**. Failure boundary: **Exceeding 2.5 m/s linear velocity causes harmonic resonance in arm structure; exceeding 1.2 MPa spray pressure causes nozzle erosion; positioning error &gt;0.15 mm causes uneven coating thickness**, Mechanism: **Harmonic resonance at 15-25 Hz natural frequency range leads to structural fatigue; cavitation at nozzle orifices when pressure exceeds 1.2 MPa causes erosion; thermal expansion mismatch between aluminum arm and steel bearings at &gt;80°C causes positioning drift**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **L10 Bearing Life & Fatigue Model**:

> **Primary Equation**: $L_{10} = (\frac{C}{P})^p$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Predicts mechanical lifecycle before component fatigue.
