Text book teaching resources 2009-2-25 2 1 Overview of Mechatronics ? Concept – Mechatronics Mechanics + Electronics – In other words, technologies and developed products will be incorporating electronics more and more into mechanisms, intimately and organically, and making it impossible to tell where one ends and the other begins. --Mori, T., “Mechatronics,” Yasakawa Internal Trademark Application Memo 21.131.01, July 12, 1969 . ? Chinese equivalents – 机械电子学 机械电子工程 – 机电一体化 ? Definitions – Continued to evolve – Varied with different people and time 2009-2-25 3 Definition in the Textbook ? Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of mechanical engineering, electronics, controls engineering, and computers, all integrated through the design process. 2009-2-25 4 2 What is mechatronics ? A methodology used for the optimal design of electromechanical products. ? Design process order multidisciplinary – Mechanical + electrical + computer + information – Electromechanical system design-by-discipline ? Mechanical system painting control ? The subsequent process is often affected by its predecessors – Mechatronic system system engineering ? Try to find an optimal solution from a systemic view ? Concurrent, Synergy, comprehensive 2009-2-25 5 Traditional vs. Mechatronic: a Comparison Traditional approach: Mechatronic approach: Centralized computer control Distributed processing Sequence control predominates Parts of process capable of individual control Whole process controlled by μP based PLC’s provide degree relay logic of intelligence Inspection/QA stages towards In-process auto
