Improving the performance of highly complex manufacturing systems such as modern machine tools requires a complete analysis of the mechatronic system. To help with this process, a primary goal is the ...

Though mechatronics promises more efficient machines at alower cost, following the mechatronics' approach of integrated designhas been challenging for most machine builders. The premise ofmechatronics ...

Too often, machine design is based simply on cost, because money is easier to understand than the stated performances. Mechatronics provides the engineer with the ability to choose products from a ...

For decades, the design and production of machines and processes have been constrained by the traditional separation of electrical and mechanical engineering disciplines. Mark Gauthier, president of ...
