Mechatronic

1. Introduction

Mechatronics is a design process that includes a combination of

mechanical engineering, electronic engineering, material engineering,

chemical engineering and industrial engineering. Mechatronics is a

multidisciplinary field of engineering, that is to say, it rejects splitting

engineering into parate disciplines.

Nowadays, with the increasing of economy, Interdisciplinary rearch

becomes an irreversible tendency. Which means mechatronic is facing

unprecedented challenges. The old mechanics cannot catch the pace of new

world, so they need to be changed. In order to stand steady from the

competition, they must provide high value by being innovative during the

process of transformation and upgrading.

2. Mechatronic system application

Mechatronics are uful on so many fields, such as Machine vision,

Automation and robotics, Servo-mechanics and so on.

Mechatronic system apply to Machine vision (MV)

Mechatronic make the possibilities of MV, technology and methods ud to

provide imaging-bad automatic inspection and analysis for such

applications as automatic inspection, process control, and robot guidance in

industry, came true.

Mechatronic system apply to Automation and robotics

Imagine that just push some simple bottoms lightly can you control a huge,

smart, intelligent robots. Is it only dreamed? No, it is reality. When

mechatronic system applies to automation and robotics we can meet that

easily.

Mechatronic system apply to Servo-mechanics

Common type of rvo provides position control. Servos are commonly

electrical or partially electronic in nature, using an electric motor as the

primary means of creating mechanical force. Other types of rvos u

hydraulics, pneumatics, or magnetic principles. Whatever type it is, it can be

parate as feedback system, transducer system and control system. And all

of it cannot be kept in functional order without mechatronic system

engineering.

3. Future challenges

Mechatronic products -- products that blend mechanical, electrical and

software technologies -- have exploded far beyond such industries as high-

tech, aerospace and consumer product goods. That means more and more

product development teams that once may have been comprid of

mechanical engineers and electrical engineers are now adding software to

the mix.

Multiple engineering disciplines are being challenged to work together in

mechatronic product development, such as on this printed circuit board

asmbly created in PTC's Pro/Engineer.

Additional challenges of mechatronic product development noted by PTC

include MCAD changes not reaching electrical engineers quickly enough,

ECAD designers working ahead of the mechanical engineer and failing to

relay that information, and software development largely removed from the

product development change management process.
