  • Mechatronics: Gaining Control and Applications
    Not to bury the lead, but did you know that mechatronics. has been around since the 1960s?. For some, that is old news. For the majority others-who. knew?
  • Essentials of Mechatronics - Preface
    Preface. There are many definitions of mechatronics, but most involve the concept of blending mechanisms, electronics, sensors, and control strategies into a design, knitted together with software. With an abundant wealth of topics to choose from, authors of mechatronics textbooks are tempted
  • Micropositioning Meets Mechatronics (.pdf)
    Compared to traditional methods, the mechatronic design approach is more of a holistic approach to product design, where the tradeoffs between different functional components (software, hardware, user interface, etc.) are carefully considered for their impact on overall performance.
  • 5 Keys to "Mechatronics Made Easy"
    Bringing together mechanical, electrical, programming, and control engineering is not effortless. But integrating technology advances, and focusing on these five areas, can simplify the process and ensure that mechatronics is made easy. Today's fast paced product development cycles and rapid
  • Model Based Development of Mechatronic Systems Challenges and Opportunities
    In the early days mechatronic systems were developed according to the slogan "BUILD IT, PAINT IT, ADD CONTROLS!" I.e. the development process was governed. by the mechanical design and controls were added as an af terthought. Design errors, requirement misses, all attributed to longer development
  • Actuator Basics: Five Different Technologies Integrated into One Package
    Another area of Mechatronics that is very confusing is the area of actuators. The problem is that you can buy actuators that are assemblies of several components, or you can buy the components, and they're all called actuators. This is traditionally an ambiguous area of mechatronics and I will try
  • Transmission Control Body EOL Function Test Success Story
    With the launch of a new generation of car transmission systems, the automotive industry required a state-of-the-art test technology for the implemented hydraulic mechatronic unit before it was attached to the gearbox.
  • Automated Insert Tools
    Retrofitting a gauge probe onto an insert tool to give true position feedback has become commonplace in many high volume mechatronic assembly applications.
