MECHATRONICS
 YASAKAWA ELICTRIC, JAPAN, INTRODUCED THE
TERM “MECHATRONIC” IN 1969.

 INITIALLY MECHATRONICSS REFFERED TOSYSTEM

WITH ONLYMECHANICAL SYSTEM AND ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS, NO COMPUTATION WASINVOLVED.

 EXAMPLE INCLUDE THE AUTOMATICSLIDING DOOR,

VENDING MACHINE, GARAGE DOOR OPENER.
WHAT IS MECHATRONICS
 MECHATRONICS IS SYNERGISTIC INTIGRATION
OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING,
ELECTRONICS, CONTROL AND COMPUTER.
ALL INTEGRATED THROUGH THE DESIGN
PROCESS.

 EXAMPLE:- ROBOT, PHOTOCOPIER, DISK

DRIVE
BENEFITS OF MECHATRONICS
 ENHANCED FEATUREDAND FUCTIONALITY
 MORE USER FRIENDLY
 PRECISION CONTROL
 MORE EFFICIENT
 LOWER COST
 FLEXIBLE DESIGN (REPROGAMABLE)
 SAFE
 SMALLER
EXAMPLES
1. PRIMERILY MECHANICAL PRODUCTS WITH
ELECTRONICS INCORPORATEDTO
ENHANCEFUNCTIONALITY e.g. NUMERICAL
CONTROLLED MACHINE TOOLS.

2. TRADITIONAL MECHANICAL SYSTEM

WITH SIGNIFICANTLY UPDATED INTERNAL
DEVICES INCORPORATING ELECTRONICS
e.g. THE MODERN SEWING MACHINE.
TRUE MECHATRONICS
1. THE PRODUCTS DESIGNED WITH MECHANICAL AND
ELECTRONICS TECHNOLOGIES THROUGH
SYNEGRITIC INTEGRATION e.g. PHOTOCOPIER
MACHINE.

2. WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF MICROPROCESSORS BY

INTEL, INTEGRATION OF COMPUTATIONAL SYSTEMS
WITH MECHANICAL SYSTEM BECOME PRACTICAL.

3. THE MICROPROCESSOR IS THE HEART OF MODERN

MECHATRONICS AND SMART PRODUCTS.
CONCLUSIONS
IT IS THE GOOD PRACTICE FOR THE STUDENT
TO BE WELL AWARE OF THE USE OF MS POWER
