INTRODUCTION
 1969 -The ‘mechatronics’ word introduced by Tessturo
Mori. E was a senior engineer of Japanese company
Yaskawa Electric Corporation.
 1971 – the company was granted the trademark rights
on the word.
 1970- 80- mostly the servo technology is used in
mechatronics
 1981-90-IT introduced. Microprocessors were
embedded in Mechanical system.
 1991 -2000 – Communication technology was added.
Remote operation and robotics were developed .
 1996 – 1st journal IEEE on mechatronics was released.
 After 2000, finds application in aerospace, defence, bio-
mechanics, automotive electronics, banking(ATM) etc.,
DEFINITION

design and implementation
 Need of highly trained workers
 Complexity in identification and correction of problem
in the system
TYPES OF CONTROL SYSTEM
Open loop control system
Closed loop or feedback control system
System
Open loop control system
 Open loop system are systems in which the output of
a system is not used as a variable to control the
system.
Element of open loop control systems
Bread toaster (open loop ) control system
Amplifier is a device amplifies the low level signal to the controller
EXAMPLE OF OPEN LOOP:
ADVANTAGES
 Its simple and cost effective construction
 Easy maintenance, because no complex circuits.
 Good stability
 Good reliability
 Response quickly
 No Calibration is involved
 More convinent
DIS-ADVANTAGES
 It is Less accuruate
 Presence of non-linearity causes malfunctining
 Slow because of manual control
 Optimisation control is not possible
 System affected by internal and external disturbance
Closed loop control system
 Closed loop system uses on a feed back loop to control
the operation of the system.
Room heating (Closed loop) control system
EXAMPLE OF CLOSED LOOP CONTROL SYSTEM:
ROOM HEATING SYSTEM
ADVANTAGES AND DIS ADVANTAGES
 Appropriate sensor,
greater stability.
 Better repetability.
 Task faster than open
loop.
 Good reliability.
 Closed loop complicated
in construction.
 Cost is higher.
 Sometimes closed loop
system is unstable.
Open loop system
 It does not uses feedback
 It is less accurate
 It is simple in
construction
 Presence of non-linearity
causes malfunctioning
 The response is slow
because manual control
 Easy maintenance
because of no complex
electronic circuit
 Cost is less
 Closed loop system
 It uses feedback system
 It is more accurate
 It is complicated in
construction
 It perform accurately
even in presence of non-
linearity
 It perform task faster
than open loop
 It is difficult to maintain
and repair
 Cost is more
Measurement system
Liquid level measurement system
Example of measurement system: Digital liquid level measuring system.
Cooling level control system
Steering control system of an automobile
CONTROL SYSTEMS
AUTOMATIC CONTROL SYSTEMS
 A control system refers to a group of physical
component connected or related in such a
manner as to command direct or regulate
itself or another system.
Temperature and blood pressure control
system of human body
Automatic tank level control system
SEQUENTIAL CONTROL SYSTEM
 A sequential control involve sequential execution of
well defined operations.( particular order)
 Each operation or activity called step.
EXAMPLE: The working of
modern automatic washing
machine
 Step 1 : pre-wash cycle
 Step 2: main wash cycle
 Step 3: rinse (WATER DIP) cycle
 Step 4: spin cycle
 1) PRE WASH CYCLE:
 Electrically operated valve opens to allow cold water to fill
in drum
 Level sensor is check the required water
 Water level reaches , sensor signal to micro controller to
switch off the water supply
 Washing takes place.
 2) MAIN WASH CYCLE:
 Once again the pre wash cycle takes place to fill the water
 After filling the water Micro processor activates the switch
to electric heater to heat the water in the main wash.
 Temperature sensor is used to measure the required heat.
 Motor drum finally comes to a slow speed and switched off
 3) RINSE CYCLE:
 Main wash completed, microprocessor output to the rinse cycle
and allow to fill cold water
 Drum motor is rotated the drum and drain pump is operate to
drain the water.
 4) SPIN CYCLE:
 Micro processor switches on the drum motor and it is signal to
rotate the drum higher speed than the Rinse cycle.

7. Product quality and consistency
maintaining and product quality, and producing
consistently
8. Ease of reconfiguration of the process
Flexibility takes place in the mechatronics system
9. Demand for increased flexibility
Due to flexibility CNC, FMS , AGV are the advanced
applications of mechatronics
Classification of Mechatronics
CLASSIFICATION OF
MECHATRONICS SYSTEM
