What is Mechatronics System | Application Of Mechatronics System

INTRODUCTION TO MECHATRONICS SYSTEM:

Mechatronics is one of the new and existing fields on the engineering landscape, subsuming parts of traditional engineering fields and requiring a broader approach to the design of system that we can formally call as Mechatronics system.

Many industries improving their works through automation which is based on the inter connection between the electronic control systems and mechanical engineering. Such control systems generally use microprocessors as controllers and have electrical sensors extracting information from mechanical inputs through electrical actuators to mechanical systems.

This can be considered to be application of computer based digital control techniques through electronic and electric interfaces to mechanical engineering problems. Successful design of Mechatronics can lead to products that are extremely attractive to customer in
quality cost-effectiveness.

MECHATRONICS DEFINITION:

Mechatronics may be defined as a multi-disciplinary field of study that implies the synergistic integration of electronic engineering, electric engineering, control engineering and computer technology with mechanical engineering for the design, manufacture, analysis and maintenance of a wide range of engineering products and processes.

“Mechatronics brings together areas of technology involving sensors and measurement systems, drive and actuation systems, analysis of the behavior of systems microprocessor systems”.

The integration across the traditional boundaries of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, electronics and control engineering has to occur at the earliest stages of the design process if cheaper, more reliable; more flexible systems are to be developed.
