MEANING OF MECHATRONICS

MECHANICAL + ELECTRONICS = MECHATRONICS

-> Mechatronics is nothing but combination of various engineering streams...

-> Earlier Mechanical Engineering stream is considered only to deal with machines, but now a days everything to be turned into electronics and computers so by combining the other streams to Mechanical they have come up with new stream called Mechatronics...

-> This enables to kindle the new innovation in the field Mechanics which ultimately helps a lot of things to be carried out in the future in a very efficient way...

-> The below picture shows the exact explanation of what mechatronics is and its self explanatory...

Dear friend,

The word, mechatronics, is composed of “mecha” from mechanism and the “tronics” from electronics.

Key Elements of Mechatronics:-

1. Physical Systems Modeling

2. Sensors and Actuators

3. Signals and Systems

4. Computers and Logic Systems

5. Software and Data Acquisition

Part of mechatronics :-

Modeling and design
System integration
Actuators and sensors
Intelligent control
Robotics
Manufacturing

Thanks
Motion control
Vibration and noise control
Micro devices and optoelectronic systems
Automotive systems

what are the various companies where mechatronics engineer can work and what are there packages?

Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary area of engineering that combines mechanical and electrical engineering and computer science. A typical mechatronic system picks up signals from the environment, processes them to generate output signals, transforming them for example into forces, motions and actions.

It is the extension and the completion of mechanical systems with sensors and microcomputers which is the most important aspect. The fact that such a system picks up changes in its environment by sensors, and reacts to their signals using the appropriate information processing, makes it different from conventional machines.

Examples of mechatronic systems are robots, digitally controlled combustion engines, machine tools with self-adaptive tools, contact-free magnetic bearings, automated guided vehicles, etc. Typical for such a product is the high amount of system knowledge and software that is necessary for its design. Furthermore, and this is most essential, software has become an integral part of the product itself, necessary for its function and operation. It is fully justified to say software has become an actual "machine element".

Mechatronics

Mechatronics is combination of mechanical and electronics.it deals with various aspects regarding the electrical circuits in the mechanical machines.
It generally gives a brief description on how the electronic devices can incorporated in Mechanical machines.
Now a days new courses are also started as Mechatronics.
