MECHATRONICS

AN INTRODUCTION

SHIVAJI CHOUDHURY
MECHATRONICS
 YASAKAWA ELECTRIC,JAPAN, INTRODUCED THE TERM
“MECHATRONIC” IN 1969.

 INITIALLY MECHATRONICS REFFERED TO SYSTEM WITH

ONLY MECHANICAL SYSTEM AND ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS , NO COMPUTATION WAS INVOLVED .

 EXAMPLE INCLUDE THE AUTOMATIC SLIDING

DOOR,VENDING MACHINE,GARAGE DOOR OPENER.
WHAT IS MECHATRONICS ?
 MECHATRNICS IS SYNERGISTIC INTEGRATION OF
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
,ELECTRONICS,CONTROL AND COMPUTER.ALL
INTEGRATED THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS.

 EXAMPLE- -ROBOT,PHOTOCOPIER,DISK DRIVE.

MECHATRONICS
BENEFITS OF MECHATRONICS
 ENHANCED FEATURED AND FUCTIONALITY.
 MORE USER FRIENDLY
 PRECISION CONTROL
 MORE EFFICIENT
 LOWER COST.
 FLEXIBLE DESIGN( REPROGRAMABLE)
 SAFE
 SMALLER
EXAMPLES
1. PRIMARILY MECHANICAL PRODUCTS WITH
ELECTRONICS INCORPORATED TO ENHANCE
FUNCTIONALITY e g. NUMERICAL
CONTROLLED MACHINES TOOLS.

3. TRADITIONAL MECHANICAL SYSTEM WITH

SIGNIFICANTLY UPDATED INTERNAL DEVICES
INCORPORATING ELECTRONICS e g THE
MORDEN SEWING MACHINE.
TRUE MECHATRONICS
1. THE PRODUCTS DESIGNED WITH
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONICS
TECHNOLOGIES THROUGH SYNERGITIC
INTEGRATION e g PHOTOCOPIER MACHINE.

3. WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF

MICROPROCESSORS BY INTEL,INTEGRATION
OF COMPUTATIONAL SYSTEMS WITH
MECHANICAL SYSTEM BECOME PRACTICAL.

5. THE MICROPROCESSOR IS THE HEART OF

MORDEN MECHATRONICS AND SMART
