3 · Bulk loading and unattended running
State how long the system should run between operator refills and how parts arrive at the machine. Hopper volume is not the only consideration: loading height, safe manual handling, batch traceability, component pressure and controlled metering into the bowl all affect the solution.
4 · Mechanical interface
Record the outlet position, height, direction, track type, available footprint and the exact receiving point. Include tolerances for machine movement or format change. Identify who supplies stands, joining sections, supports, guarding and installation hardware.
Use an annotated orientation and hand-off definition rather than an ambiguous description.
5 · Electrical and control interface
Define available power, control voltage, run demand, ready, low-level, full-track, blocked-outlet and fault signals. State how emergency stop, guard circuits and restart sequencing interact with the wider line.
6 · Environment and access
Include cleaning method, dust, moisture, temperature, noise target, material restrictions and controlled-area requirements. Confirm access for tool changes, cleaning, inspection, jam recovery and preventive maintenance.
7 · Changeover and recipes
For a component family, identify change parts, settings, tools, expected duration, recipe control and line-clearance checks. Each approved variant needs its own acceptance result or a clearly stated common boundary.
If camera verification is required, include the visible feature, image view, good and reject samples, no-read rule and reject confirmation. Read the feeder vision inspection guide.
