CHAPTER-1
• INTRODUCTION TO
MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS-
Mechatronics is a
methodology used for the
optimal design of
electromechanical products
Mechatronic system is
multidisciplinary, embodying
four fundamental disciplines:
electrical, mechanical,
computer science, and
information technology
KEY ELEMENTS:
• Monitoring On-Line
• Model-Based Monitoring System
• Mechatronics Systems with Open
Architecture
• Supervisory Control Structure
Monitoring On-Line
• The importance of lean production systems has
created an opportunity for intelligent autonomous
inspection, manufacturing, and decision-making
systems that perform tasks without human
intervention
• Currently, quality is ensured in the product
engineering cycle at two distinct levels.
• At the product design stage: To ensure that quality is
designed into the product. Using the robust design
method.
• At the final inspection stage: Using statistical process
control methods
Model-Based Monitoring System
• Model-based monitoring systems generally use
a set of modelling equations and an estimation
algorithm (such as a state observer) to estimate
the signal important to the machine
performance
Mechatronics Systems with Open
Architecture
Supervisory Control Structure
• hierarchical control structure where the
controller elects position and velocity at the
machine level, force and wear at the process
level, and quality control issues (like dimension
and roughness) at the product level.
