subject: China Mechatronics Situation And Development Trend [print this page] Mechatronics is an emerging interdisciplinary subject, is in development stage, representing the Machinery Industry Direction of development of the technological revolution. The late 20th century, 90, mechanical and electrical integration into the depth of development. Optics, communication technology, micromachining technology into mechanical and electrical integration, emergence of mechatronics and micro-optical electromechanical integration, new branches. Meanwhile, the modeling of mechatronic systems design, analysis and integration methods, and the disciplinary system and development trends in-depth research. Artificial intelligence, neural network technology and fiber optic technology for mechanical and electrical integration technologies open up a vast vista of development.
Is generally believed that mechatronics is an interdisciplinary and integrated high-tech, is the microelectronics, computer technology, information technology, mechanical technology and the integration of other technologies, consisting of an independent interdisciplinary. U.S. IEEE / ASME in 1996 and gives a more comprehensive definition: "We initially defined as the mechanical and electrical integration 'in the industrial product and process design and manufacturing, mechanical engineering and electronic and intelligent computer control coordination integration' , including the following 11 areas: (1) molding and design; (2) system integration; (3) Actuator And Sensor ; (4) Intelligent control; (5) robot; (6) manufacturing; (7) motion control; (8) vibration and noise control; (9) micro devices and optoelectronic systems; (10) Automotive Systems; (11) other applications. "Currently, the international machinery commonly used by the revitalization of the Japanese Association definition:" Mechatronics is the main function in the mechanical, power functions, information functions and control functions on the introduction of microelectronic technology, and mechanical devices and electronic devices combination of related software systems consisting of general [3] ", involving manufacturing technology, electronics technology, information processing, testing and sensor technology, control technology, interface technology, computer technology, servo drives and other technologies. Mechatronics Technology on the development of modern industry has a huge drive, therefore the world are vigorously promoting mechatronics.
1 Overseas Development of Mechatronics Mechatronics development can be divided into three stages. The first phase (also called the primary stage) is 60 years before the 20th century, this time people do not consciously receive and make use of electronic technology more widely recognized. The second stage, mechanical and electrical integration technologies and products has been great development. The third stage, countries have begun a great interest and support mechatronics technology and products.
1989 held in Tokyo, Japan, the First International Conference on Advanced Mechatronics, Mechatronics in depth is a sign of development, governments have begun plans to promote and develop the mechanical and electrical integration technologies and products. At present, Japan and the United States in product development and application of mechatronics is a world leader. U.S. Department of Commerce has published a report on the study Mechatronics in Japan, the Japanese and U.S. basic research in mechatronics, advanced development and the formation of three products were compared and concluded that the addition of machine vision and software outside the , basic research in Japan and the United States can be compared. Currently, they are smart sensors, computer chip manufacturing technology, with the tactile function of artificial intelligence and human-computer dialogue, industrial robots, flexible manufacturing systems as a major research topic of high-tech fields, and put a lot of money to support the development of related technologies.
Therefore, to the rapid development of mechatronic products, mainly in the following four areas:
(1) mechatronics products have covered almost all areas of manufacturing. In industrialized countries, CNC machine tools Accounted for 30% of the total number of machines to 40%. Industrial robots and intelligent systems intelligent forward direction, the number of the next decade will be 25% to 30% growth. Intelligent robots will gradually enter the office, management, entertainment, family, and other fields.
