Mechatronics History / Origin

 1969 in Japan, Tetsura Mori, a senior engineer of Yaskawa


Electric Corp., coined the term “Mechatronics“.
 The word ‘Mechatronics’ composed of MECHAnics and
elecTRONICS.
 In the 1980s, mechatronics was used to focus on information
technology whereby microprocessors were embedded into
mechanical systems to improve performance, such as antilock
braking and electric seats.
 In the 1990s, mechatronics centered on communication
technology to connect products into large networks, including
the production of air bags and other related technologies.

 Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of


precision mechanical engineering, electronic
control and systems thinking in the design of
products and manufacturing processes.

 Mechatronics is a methodology used for the


optimal design of electromechanical products.

Mechatronics Simulation & Modeling

 Modeling is the process of representing the


behavior of a real system by a collection of
mathematical equations and logic.
 Simulation is the process of solving the model
and is performed on a computer.
 The process of simulation can be divided into
three sections:
 Initialization
 Iteration
 Termination

Mechatronics Optimization

 Optimization solves the problem of distributing


limited resources throughout a system such that
prespecified aspects of its behavior are satisfied.
 In mechatronics, optimization is primarily used to
establish the optimal system configuration.

 Resources….Design variables
 System behaviour …… Objectives
 System relationship …..Constraints

Mechatronics Advantages

 Cost effective and very good quality product.


 High degree of flexibility.
 Greater extent of machine utilization.
 Capital expenses are reduced.
 Owing to the incorporation of intelligent, self
correcting sensory and feedback systems, the
mechatronic approach results in:
 Greater productivity;
 Higher quantity and producing reliability.

A Textbook of Mechatronics, R K Rajput


Mechatronics Disadvantages

 High initial cost of the system.


 Imperative to have knowledge of different
engineering fields for design and implementation.
 Specific problems for various systems will have
to be addressed separately.
 It is expensive to incorporate mechatronics
approach to an existing / old system.
