Engineering in mechatronics
Very little know all the field of work that manages this engineering, l see everywhere and
yet never ask us how they are made or who are responsible for what we use.
lately the mechatronics is one of the best seen engineering, this either because of the
good reputation it is winning thanks to the variety of specialties it entails, besides that it
has been "sold" as the carer of the future, making this a more attractive tone of how
things are done
Today most things are handled electronically, by means of devices, circuits and do not
forget the programming, it is very difficult to find someone who has not used any tool that
carries one of the aforementioned, it is worth mentioning that the way in which a series of
activities is carried out, some of them carry out a circuit or handle electricity automatically
or analogously, even though they are carried out by means of some program.
Introduccion
Aldrish (2008) The word mechatronics can be divided into mecha mechanics and
electronics, however it covers other areas of the knowledge such as control and
computation.
To study mechatronics, it is essential to know a little about of the history of each one of
the main areas that compose it.
Starting with mechanics, which can be said to show first traces in the stone age with the
manufacture of the first tools based on silex, later in the year 287-212 A.C.
Archimedes: mathematician and inventor who raises the Law of lever, invents the
composite pulley, the catapult of mirrors and the endless screw between others But
maybe the law was raised better known is known commonly known as the Archimedes
principle, which states "that Every body submerged in a fluid experiences a loss of weight
equal to the weight of the volume of the fluid that dislodges. "Years later it arrives
Heron of Alexandria a mathematician and physicist in the year 20-62 D.C. who
he wrote works on mechanics, mathematics and physics and invented several novel
devices such as the aelipila: a steam engine rotating, the source of Heron: a pneumatic
device that produces a vertical water jet by air pressure and diopter: a primitive
geodetic instrument used to measure distances on earth. Later in the Middle Ages in the
fifteenth century appears Leonardo Da Vinci, Italian architect, sculptor, engineer and sage,
who in addition to hisartistic works such as the Gioconda and the last dinner among the
most famous, he stood out for inventing ingenious machines such as the suit of
application of diver and flying machines that for the time not
immediate practice
The development of mechanics with Kepler and Copernicus contributed then to the
development of celestial mechanics, I understand the movement of bodies in space. Then
the laws of movement on earth in the sixteenth century with Galileo Galilei, astronomer,
mathematician, philosopher and physicist to whom the Law of the pendulum, the
invention of the telescope, the study on the fall of bodies and gave some characters on
gravitational law without giving it character of law universal.
Jovans (2009) ELECTRONICS: branch of physics that studies the movement of electrons in
a conductor or in a semiconductor.
Which means that it takes advantage of the phenomena caused by the flow of electrons
between two bodies with opposite electrical charges to apply in the transmission and
manipulation of information.
In analog electronics are three basic automatic; theresistors, capacitors and resources in
semiconductors like diodes and transistors.
Resistances, as their own name indicates, are opposed tostep of the electric current and
helps limit the current that It flows in the circuit when a certain voltage is applied.
The capacitors are capable of storing a small amount of energy, so they were initially used
to
balance existing electrical charges in the circuit, although its scope has been extended in
digital electronics to that of information warehouses. electronics
In conclusión Based on the research we can conclude that the mechatronics is an
engineering that covers all types of engineering so its field of application is very large due
to the great diversity of engineering that make up everything in one, thus giving a
versatility Much better than doing the best of all things, applying them all together,
instead of all things separately as is traditional.
What has caused great technological advances, as a result of automotive mechanisms that
facilitate technological development.
You can also say that mechatronics appears in many activities of the human being, which
is an engineering that is mainly responsible for developing new innovations or
technological advances to facilitate the tasks or activities of a human being.
In the same way, combining all the engineering in one allows this to be better than the
most relevant of each of them, which causes the best of each of them to be obtained in
order to carry out more advanced and better processes or systems. that focuses on always
innovate for a simpler and faster development when carrying out all the activities that a
human being entails. Being that it has such a large field of application that it can take
place in the automotive industries that use all kinds of advanced equipment intelligently
and in this way reach a more efficient work.
Mechatronics
The mechatronics has as immediate antecedents to the investigation in the area of the
cybernetics carried out in 1936 by Alan Turing; in 1948 by Wiener and Morthy; the
machines of numerical control, developed initially in 1946 by Devol; the manipulators,
whether teleoperated, in 1951 by Goertz, or robotized, in 1954 by Devol, and
programmable automatons, by Bedford Associates in 1968.
The term mechatronics began to emerge from the 60s as a concept of automation of
Japanese industry; It was first introduced in 1969 by the engineer Tetsuro Mori, worker of
the Yaskawa Japanese Power Company in a memorandum (Mori, T., "Mechatronics",
Trademark Application of Yaskawa Internal Memo 21.131.01, July 12, 1969 ), who
together with Ko Kikuchi applied the Kaizen technique (Japanese term that means
continuous improvement) to solve a problem of operation of one of the products that
they manufactured in the company where they worked, receiving in 1972 the right of
mark (registration of Japanese brand , No. 946594, January 1972). The philosophy of the
Yaskawa company, based on the development of knowledge and the search for the quality
of life of a society, allowed in 1982 the free use of the term.
The definition of mechatronics has evolved from the original in trademark application
documents. Yaskawa defined the mechatronics as follows:
The word mechatronics is composed of "mecca", of mechanism, and "tronic", of
electronics. In other words, technologies and products available that incorporate
electronics and more to the mechanisms, intimately, organically and impossible to say,
when one ends and the other begins.
The concept went unnoticed for more than a decade, and was renewed by European
schools, mainly by the Danish Mechatronics Association, the Mechatronics Group of
Finland, the Hungarian Mechatronics Association and various design centers in Italy,
England, Germany and Sweden, mainly. The evolution of the original concept of
mechatronics developed in Yaskawa, under the European perspective, resulted in the
inclusion of the technology of the statement, a fin of non-intruders by an artificial physical
intelligence in the machines.
The definition of mechatronics continued to evolve after the company Yaskawa suggested
the original concept. A cited definition was presented by Harashima, Tomizuka and Fukada
in 1996, and retaken by Unesco. In his words, the mechatronics is defined as:
