What is Mechatronics? Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of Mechanical engieering ( mecha for mechanisms), Electronic engineering ( tronics for electronics), and software engineering. The word Mechatronics was first coined by Mr. Tetsuro Moria, a senior engineer of a Japanese company, Yaskawa, in 1969. Cont..
Cont.. It is a multi-disciplinary approach to product and manufacturing system design. It involves application of electrical, mechanical, control and computer engineering to develop products, processes and systems with greater flexibility, ease in redesign and ability of reprogramming. It concurrently includes all these disciplines.
A Mechatronics system integrates various technologies involving 1.Sensors & Measurement systems, 2.Drives & Actuation systems (Mechanical /Pneumatics /Hydraulics), 3.Controlling system (microprocessor / microcontroller /PLC) and software engineering. Mechatronics system
Introduction- Mechatronics can also be termed as replacement of mechanics with electronics or enhance mechanics with electronics. With the help of microelectronics and sensor technology, mechatronics systems are providing high levels of precision and reliability. For example, in modern automobiles, mechanical fuel injection systems are now replaced with electronic fuel injection systems. This replacement made the automobiles more efficient and less pollutant. By employment of reprogrammable microcontrollers or PLC, it is now easy to add new functions and capabilities to a product or a system. Today s domestic washing machines are intelligent and four-wheel passenger automobiles are equipped with safety installations such as airbags, parking (proximity) sensors, antitheft electronic keys etc.

Objective of Mechatronics system 1. Integration of mechanical systems with electronic and computer systems. 1. To improve efficiency of the system. 2. To reduce cost of production. 3. To achieve high accuracy and precision. 4. For easy control of the system. 5. Customer satisfaction and comfort.
Mechatronics has evolved through the following stages: 1.Primary Level Mechatronics: Integrates electrical signaling with mechanical action at the basic control level for e.g. fluid valves and relay switches 2.Secondary Level Mechatronics: Integrates microelectronics into electrically controlled devices for e.g. cassette tape player. 3.Tertiary Level Mechantronics: Incorporates advanced control strategy using microelectronics, microprocessors and other application specific integrated circuits for e.g. microprocessor based electrical motor used for actuation purpose in robots. 4.Quaternary Level Mechatronics: This level attempts to improve smartness a step ahead by introducing intelligence ( artificial neutral network and fuzzy logic ) and fault detection and isolation ( F.D.I.) capability into the system. eg: artificial neural network and fuzzy logic technologies.
The function of Mechatronics engineer is: Design and prepare the machines and Programming them, by using the computer, control systems, electrical and mechanical system.
