Contents:
Mechanical Design:
Mathematical Model. General equation of motion for a mechatronic system. Estimating Motor torques based
on inertia of the system and the desired maximum velocity and acceleration. Estimating frictional forces due
to dry friction and misalignment.
Designing for low friction and high-rigidity systems. Design of mechanical drive system. Ball screw design.
Design of Linear Motion guides. Preparing workshop drawings of various mechanical components using CAD.
Preparing part program files for CNC machining of components using G-Simple or any other CAD/CAM
package. These drawings and CNC codes will later become part of the final design document.
 Electronics and Software Design:
Evolving schematic circuit diagrams for the electronic circuitry. H-bridge circuit design for servo motor
control. Components selection. Development of computer hardware using modern microcontrollers or DSPs.
Pulse encoder interface circuit. Implementation of PID control algorithm. Interfacing other sensors with the
microcontroller. Path planning algorithm, trajectory generation.
Front-end design. Data communication with other devices.
Note : Practical work is based on the above theoretical course
