Electromechanical Systems: Mechatronic Systems, Techniques and Applications Volume Four / Edition 1

by Cornelius T. Leondes

Overview

The technical committee on mechatronics formed by the International Federation for the Theory of Machines and Mechanisms, in Prague, Czech Republic, adopted the following definition for the term: Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering, electronic control and systems thinking in the design products and manufacturing process.Due to developments in powerful computers, including microprocessors and Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICS), computational techniques, diverse technologies, advances in the design process of products and other factors, the field of mechatronics has evolved as a highly powerful and most cost effective means for product realization.

Editorial Reviews

Six contributions from engineers in Europe, Korea, and the US review techniques for designing and applying some of the electromechanical components used in systems that integrate mechanical and electronic elements. They cover basics and applications of industrial magnetic bearings, real-time optical measurement systems, mechatronic system techniques for mechanical parts inspection by robots, techniques and applications of accurate hydraulically operated processes and machines, intelligent paper roll manipulation systems, and supervisory and adaptive fuzzy control for a flexible-link robot. Each volume in the series focuses on one area of engineering that has stabilized enough that an authoritative as well as timely textbook can be assembled on it. Annotation c.
