Mechatronics 1

Teaching Prof. Dr.-Ing. Detlef Riemer

Objective

The main content of this course is to impart knowledge about the relationships between function and structure, in particular of motion-generating elements. Using practical examples of modern mechatronic components and systems, various effective design methods of mechatronics with their respective specific features are explained and deepened in seminar form.

Characteristics and examples of mechatronic systems
Basic structure of a mechatronic system
Forms of integration of mechatronic systems using the example of multi-coordinate drives
Design of mechatronic systems and their specifics
Methods and components of mechatronic design systems
Mechatronic designs and their respective special features
Design of physically heterogeneous overall systems
Example of the mechatronic design of a fast-acting drive system
Importance of simulation in mechatronics
Familiarisation with software-supported design systems
Introduction to actuator technology
