Mechatronic Systems
Definition of Mechatronics
Mechatronics is often defined as a way of thinking or method and not as a technology:
"Mechatronics is the synergistic combination of precision mechanical engineering,
electronic control and systems thinking in the design of products and processes"
(From "Mechatronics, Electronics in products and processes" Bradley, Dawson et. al, Chapman and Hall Verlag, London 1991)

Mechatronics
is much more than a simple combination of 3 technical fields
it is a way of thinking
for which teamwork is essential
Training must therefore address
technical competence
personal competence
team competence
in order to fulfill the demands placed by Mechatronics

Bridge the Gap between Virtual and Reality
• Simulate actual machine operation while guaranteeing safety of students and equipment.
• Troubleshooting mode allows the instructor to introduce faults and track student progress as they “repair” the machines.
