What is Mechatronics?
???
What is Mechatronics?
•What is your definition?•Prospective student’s view?
•Janitor?•Dirty manual process?•Wrench Turner?
•Mom’s and Dad’s view?•Low class•Low pay•You don’t want to do that…
Mechatronic Definitions
Mechatronics is often defined as a way of thinking or method and not as a technology:
Mechatronic Definitions
"Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronic control and systems thinking in the design of products and processes"
(From "Mechatronics, Electronics in products and processes" Bradley, Dawson et. al, Chapman and Hall, London 1991)
It is much more than a simple combination of 3 technical fields
it is a way of thinking
how people and processes work together
for which teamwork is essential
Training must therefore address
technical competence
personal competence
team competence
in order to fulfill the demands placed by today’s Mechatronic companies
Mechatronics
MechanicalElectronics
Information Technologies
Personal and team skills
Mechatronics
Which Industries use
Mechatronics?
aerospace automotive chemical processing computers communications electronics health care machine tools mining ANY that involve
mechanical, electronics systems, engineering with computer interface.
